Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days officially kick off on October 7, but significant discounts on internal NVMe M.2 SSDs are already available, offering tech enthusiasts and gamers a chance to upgrade their storage capacity ahead of the busy fall gaming season.Among the most notable deals are substantial price cuts on the Crucial P310 1TB and 2TB models, hitting their lowest prices to date.
Currently, the Crucial P310 1TB SSD is available for $75, down from its original price of $96, while the 2TB version can be purchased for $112, a reduction from $145.

“These are great deals if you’re looking to add a bit of extra space to your computer or console,” one analyst noted, emphasizing the timing with the upcoming release of several highly anticipated games.
