On the fence about investing in Black Friday SSD deals? Although they can be expensive, it's worthwhile. SSD stands for 'Solid State Drive', and these storage devices make booting your system and loading programs so much faster. Seriously, it's night and day. You can see for yourself by looking at the Series X's loading times. As such, SSDs are absolutely worth considering if your device is compatible with them.

Not that Black Friday external hard drive offers aren't worth your time. If you just want to store game installs and clear space on your system's core memory, HDDs are incredibly useful accessories too. You can get masses of storage at reasonable prices, and they'll usually be cheaper than Black Friday SSD deals as well.

We've got offers on both below. For more, be sure to check out our guide on the PS4 SSD you should look out for, the best PS4 external hard drive, and the best Xbox One external hard drive.

Black Friday SSD

If you want to speed up your PC or get some quick storage for your console, the Black Friday SSD deals are your best chance. The sales event of the year is guaranteed to push prices down, especially with renewed interest thanks to the arrival of next-gen consoles (if interest in PS5 deals and Xbox Series X deals are anything to go by, more people than ever are keen to embrace faster loading).

If you are buying for your new console, be warned - not all of these offers will run Xbox games as fast as the Xbox Series X's internal storage. That's because Microsoft is offering a special 'Storage Expansion Card' of its own. We've linked to discounts on this below.

Similarly, PlayStation users who want an SSD fast enough to keep up with the PS5 will have to choose from a selection of NVMe drives confirmed to work with the system - the Western Digital SN850 is a good example - but will have to wait for an official list of approved models.

External SSD

These SSDs are separate to the console, laptop, or PC you want to use them with. They act like a massive USB thumbstick - only a whole lot faster, and with much more space. Our favorites can be found below, including brands like Samsung and SanDisk.

Black Friday external hard drives

If you want somewhere to put your game installs so you can clear space on your main console or PC storage unit (or rotate game installs as and when you need them), standard hard drives are the way to go. They're generally cheaper than SSDs, and Black Friday external hard drive deals are probably going to push that price tag even lower.

Alright, so they're not as fast. But if you're after capacity rather than speed then these are still the way forward - even though the SSD prices will be tempting.
