The Amazon Prime Sale is a great time to pick up a deal on a new SSD or hard drive to use with your Mac, as Amazon and its partners are likely to discount products even more than usual. In 2022 the Amazon Prime Day ran from July 12 to 13 2022 and then there was a second Prime Day ‘Early Access’ sale running from October 11 to 12. We expect the next Prime Day sale to take place in June or July 2023.
If you are curious to see the kind of deals we saw during Amazon’s prime sale in October, take a look below to see the best Amazon deals we saw on hard drives, SSDs, and network drives that work with Macs – many of these feature in our best SSDs and hard drive round ups.
To take advantage of the Prime Day deals you will need Amazon Prime membership, which costs $14.99 / £8.99 / AUD$6.99 on a monthly basis (or $139 / £95 / AUD$59 annually), but can be canceled after the 30-day free trial that’s available to new users.
