When it comes to storage, enough is never enough. Especially because many games take up a good chunk of space. Instead of uninstalling and reinstalling games when you want to play them, it makes way more sense to grab an external hard drive. It makes even more sense to buy one during Cyber Monday 2020. While Cyber Monday technically starts, well, Monday — there’s plenty of CM deals you can get in on now, especially when it comes to external hard drive deals.

The best part about many of these deals is that hard drives are becoming more affordable than ever. You can even take your storage on the go as many of the hard drives are small enough to fit in a pocket or a backpack. Many people like to rely on cloud storage, but with a physical hard drive, you won’t have to worry about subscription fees or the internet going down.
