External storage keeps climbing in price, making every discount worth a look. Amazon has just rolled out a slate of sizable savings on items ranging from a rugged Samsung SSD to all‑in‑one NAS units and pocket‑size flash drives. While the deals don’t hit pre‑2026 price points, they’re still a rare break in a market where some devices have jumped 200% or more due to the ongoing global memory shortage.

The shortage stems from AI data centers gobbling up chips, throttling supply for consumers. Forecasts suggest the RAM crunch will linger through 2027, with Tom's Hardware warning it could get worse. Because prices are expected to keep rising, the article urges shoppers to act now rather than wait another year for a potential price dip.

For anyone needing extra storage for school or work, the current Amazon discounts represent perhaps the best window before costs climb further. Check the full list on Amazon and grab what you need while the offers last.
