Amazon Prime Day 2019: Best deals still available on storage drives
You can still beef up your internal or external storage needs at a discount.
Amazon's 2019 Prime Day sale has come and gone, but there are a couple lingering deals available at their top sale prices. Many of the storage drives -- internal and external -- are still discounted, just not as heavily. You'll find those below with the current prices. Listed after those are the drives that have returned to full price so you can click through to either beat yourself up for missing the deal or keep it in the back of your mind for when Black Friday rolls around.
Or, better yet, Amazon seems to have gone from Prime Day deals right into back-to-school discounts, including a whole bunch of storage drives like those below. If none of the Prime Day stuff here interests you, you may want to click through to these storage deals.
Note that CNET may get a share of revenue from the sale of the products featured on this page.

Running out of space on your network-attached storage? Not with a couple of these you won't. If you want larger, though, the 10TB is on sale, too, for $213.
Pure storage It's not a huge discount, but this drive was already incredibly inexpensive, so this just sweetens the deal. Preformatted for Windows, but can be reformatted for Mac.
This is a great choice for Android phones with USB-C ports since it supports on-the-go (OTG) transfers. Just plug it into your phone's USB-C port and move files from your phone to the drive. You can then plug the USB-C connection into your computer or use the slider on top to switch the connection to a USB-A connector.
Like the Ultra Dual Drive except this has a Lightning connector for use with iPhones and iPads instead of USB-C. Need to quickly free up space on your device without storing to the cloud first? Here you go.
This is just a fast USB 3.0 thumb drive that's incredibly inexpensive. If you'd rather have two smaller drives as opposed to one large, the 64GB version is available for $10.
The Ultra Fit is another really inexpensive flash drive. However, while the PNY drive above gives you something to grab onto, this SanDisk is little more than the USB connector. That makes it better for keeping it constantly connected to a laptop, game console or car stereo.
