Best SSD and RAM deals to boost your PC's performance

One of the easiest and cheapest ways to get more life out of your existing laptop or desktop is by upgrading your system's memory and storage. If your PC is sluggish, adding more RAM and additional or faster internal storage can speed things up. These simple upgrades are often easy to perform and won't break the bank, especially if you're not ready to upgrade to an entirely new computer.
For performance users, the best deal we've spotted for upgrading your storage is Western Digital's WD Black SN850X. This NVMe solid-state drive was originally listed for $180 but is now discounted by $70, taking the price down to just $110 for 1TB of reliable storage. If you need more storage, Seagate's FireCuda's 4TB capacity NVMe drive is now discounted to $530. There are also smaller deals on 1TB drives if you don't need that much capacity.
On the memory front, Corsair's Vengeance LPX desktop RAM kit currently has a 25 percent discount. There are also other smaller discounts on DDR4 and DDR5 memory for both laptops and desktops. You can check out our complete list of RAM and SSD deals below.
