Black Friday is a great time to pick up a deal on a new SSD or hard drive to use with your Mac. Amazon and other resellers tend to discount products even more than usual and in 2022 we saw some great savings on external storage.
Take a look below to see the best deals we seen during Black Friday 2022, including discounts on hard drives, SSDs, and network drives that work with Macs. Many of these feature in our best SSDs and hard drive round-ups.
We find that the majority of storage deals are to be found on Amazon, but it’s worth checking other retailers over the Black Friday shopping period such as Best Buy, Newegg and Walmart in the U.S. and Currys, Argos, ebuyer in the U.K.
