The prices on memory and storage devices are at an all-time high, and with the growing demands of AI infrastructure, the crisis is unlikely to go away soon. However, there are still some decent deals to be had, and the latest NAS servers are getting decent discounts right now.
Whether you need a portable SSD for on-the-go file management or a powerful NAS for Plex, I've dropped a selection of my favorite active storage deals below. Some of these devices have dropped the price of external storage down to $0.20 per GB or less, so take a look and see what you can find.
Prices might get even lower as Prime Day progresses, and maybe something you didn't find might today might go on sale a little later. So, keep checking back here as I will be adding all the best storage deals to this buying guide as they go live.

When is Prime Day 2026?
Prime Day 2026 kicked off from June 23rd and will run through the 26th, which gives you four full days to explore some of the best tech deals of the year.
Do I have to be a member to shop during Amazon Prime Day?
Although some deals will be available to the general public, the best offers will be reserved for Amazon Prime members. Haven't signed up yet? Don't forget that Amazon offers a 30-day free trial so you can explore all of the benefits of Prime — such as free shipping and unlimited streaming — without paying a cent. You can even cancel as soon as the sale is over with zero hassle.
Why are storage devices so expensive right now?
Although there are a number of factors at play, the current RAM and storage crisis is largely happening because of the rapid growth of artificial intelligence infrastructure. Simply put, AI data centers require a staggering amount of storage, and this has resulted in a supply shortage for consumer-grade devices. Tech that uses onboard storage and RAM (such as Android phones) is also getting more expensive because of the shortage, so upcoming sales like Amazon Prime Day are more crucial than ever before.
