Nobody likes doing the storage shuffle. You know what we mean — constantly having to delete stuff off of your gaming console or computer to make room for new stuff. It's not a big deal the first few times, but trust us, it becomes exhausting very quickly. That's why having a portable SSD (either internal or external) is pretty much a must-have.

And thankfully, during Amazon's Prime-Day-style spring sale, there are plenty of portable SSDs on sale across a variety of brands. Whether you need one for your PC, laptop, PlayStation 5 or Xbox, you're covered.
