Luckily, there's a fix for that problem, and it's an SSD — either internal or external. These SSD storage expanders are maintaining a big presence in the days leading up to Black Friday 2024, with many of them sitting at deep discounts at the time of this writing.

The best Black Friday deals drop prices on SSDs and HDDs from reliable brands. A good discount starts around 15 to 20 percent—and a great deal will be 30 percent or more. Typically, the bigger bargains are higher-capacity SSDs (4TB or higher).

One most popular product this season is the SanDisk 2TB Extreme Portable SSD which is currently available for just $129, down from its list price of $199, which is a substantial 35% savings. This portable solid-state drive is an excellent choice for anyone seeking speed, reliability, and convenience.
