One of the few areas where we're seeing great deals on Prime Day is on some of the best SSDs, and SK hynix is kicking the discounts off with 20% off two of its drives on Amazon today. We gave both these SSDs awards after testing them, for their performance and price. And now they're even more affordable.

For those after a speedy, responsive boot drive, there's the 1TB SK hynix Gold P31. It's an NVMe M.2 drive that drops from its normal $134 to less than $107.99 on Amazon today. In our testing last fall, we praised this drive for its class-leading efficiency and excellent performance.

The SK hynix P31 promises sequential reads of up to 3,500 MBps over the PCIe 3.0 interface. This M.2 drive features 128-layer NAND and a solid five-year warranty.

But if you don't quite as much speed and have less to spend, the 500GB SK hynix Gold S31, a 2.5-inch SATA drive that we gave an Editor's Choice award last year is on sale as well. For the 500GB model, the price drops from the usual $57 to $45.59 at checkout. This might be a good opportunity to make room in your rig for all the discounted games that you won't be able to stop yourself from buying during upcoming summer sales.

The S31's speed may be constrained by the SATA interface, but as we saw in testing it's a competitive performer. And it ships with both cloning software and a lengthy five-year warranty.
