6 Killer Black Friday 2025 SSD Deals: Big Savings On Samsung, Crucial & More
Our SSD Selection Criteria
So, the most important SSD selection criteria for us this year was making sure you get the best possible deal, not simply highlighting what Amazon is highlighting. The trickiest part of Black Friday sales is that while tech indeed does generally become cheaper across the board, making this an ideal time to build or upgrade a PC, a lot of the actual best deals for your money may not have large visible discounts. In rare cases, there won't be a discount at all, but it'll still be the better choice than a similar option in the category that's 30-50% off. The reason for this is twofold: that Black Friday sales aren't always genuine discounts from standard pricing, and that Black Friday sales double as an easy way to clear stock of lesser-sold items.So for these deals, we were sure to narrow down which 2TB and 4TB SSDs were actually the best for your money across SATA, NVMe Gen 4, and NVMe Gen 5 categories. Sadly, NVMe Gen 3 SSDs are sparse in availability and gratuitously overpriced in general, so we recommend those who are still using boards with NVMe Gen 3 drives to opt for Gen 4 drives instead. This should work fine, since NVMe is backward-compatible and Gen 4 will be better to carry over for future builds anyway. We were especially cautious with NVMe drives to avoid those reliant on QLC cell storage, which is the slowest-performing of any NVMe SSD and can tank performance under sustained load.
