The Amazon Prime Day 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.
Amazon’s most recent Prime Day event ran from October 10 to 11, 2023, during which time Prime subscribers were able to take advantage of generous savings. You can read our commentary on the best deals from that event below, giving you some idea of what to expect from the next one. If Amazon follows its usual pattern, the next Prime Day sale will be in summer 2024.
See our round-up of the Best Prime Day Apple Deals for our pick of the best Prime Day deals.
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.
