Pick up one of the best portable SSDs for its lowest-ever-price - just £48

In the Prime Day 2 sale the Crucial X8 1TB Portable SSD is 59% off, making it the cheapest it's ever been and a great deal if you're looking for some portable storage for your games.

The Crucial X8 is a great SSD for storing old PS4 and Xbox One games, as you can play them directly off the SSD. It's also a good way to cold store current-gen titles for the PS5 and Xbox Series consoles, though you'll have to transfer them over whe you want to play them.

Dell's popular S3422DWG 34 inch WQHD curved gaming monitor is back down to £350 for Prime members in the Big Deal Days sale

It's also 144Hz with 1ms response time so you can play fast-paced shooters on it without a struggle, and you've got 5 USB slots for extra connetivity.
