If data is important to you, whether that be photos, videos, or documents, you should keep multiple copies of that data on hand. Ideally, one of those copies should be on a hard drive that's not in your primary computer. External and internal hard drives provide an excellent way to back up precious data, and if you're looking for a new backup solution, you should take a look at some of these excellent October Prime Day deals on hard drives.
SanDisk is a well-known name in the SD card and flash drive space, but they also make decent external hard drives. This rugged 5TB Sandisk Professional G-Drive ArmorATD is 25% off its usual price of $189.99, which means that it can be yours for $139.64.
If you want a rugged, compact external hard drive from an established brand, consider the LaCie Rugged Mini 4TB. LaCie is owned by Seagate, and both brands are well-known their storage drives. For Prime Day, this LaCie drive has been priced at $119.99, 25% below its usual price of $159.99.
For those who need a lot of storage, the WD Elements 16TB external drive is a good option. Remember that this drive needs a dedicated power socket, so you'll have to plug it in whenever you want to use it. It can be yours for $239.49 during Prime Day, down 23% from the usual $309.99.
The 2TB WD Elements Portable is a great choice for those who want some additional storage in a compact form factor. For Prime Day, this hard drive is available for $64.99, about 17% lower than its usual price of $78.44.
If you have a network attached storage (NAS) device and you want to add more storage, you should get a hard drive designed for the purpose. The WD Red series is a solid choice for a NAS, but it can also be used with a PC that you're using as a home server for media streaming. The 8TB WD Red Plus is on sale for Prime Day, discounted to $149.14. (That's 22% off the usual price off $189.99.)

Seagate also has some good internal hard drives you can use in your PC. The 8TB Seagate BarraCuda is on sale for Prime Day. It's priced at $109.99, 19% off the usual price of $134.99.
If you have a home security camera, you can use a hard drive to store your footage, rather than rely on cloud-based solutions.
