Secure your data for less this Black Friday & Cyber Monday - these are the biggest discounts and best deals on HDDs, SSDs, cloud storage, and cloud backup

FULL STORY ======================================================================

I don't know anyone who hasn't accidentally deleted a file at some point in their life, be it an important work document or a final submission for a school project (yikes!).

From watching (and making) these costly mistakes, I've come to realize that having a infallible data backup solution is worth more than its weight in gold.

But cloud storage doesn't weigh anything, so I've collated the best combo deals on cloud and physical storage so that you never lose another file again (no matter how hard you try).

Below, you'll find a collection of combo deals organized by value, capacity, and speed so you can craft the perfect bulletproof backup solution to suit your budget and needs. Best overall

Pair the Seagate 5TB portable HDD with NordLocker 2TB cloud storage

This storage combo is the best balance of cost, capacity, and speed. For less than $200 you can get 7TB of storage across the physical realm and the cloud. Keep your super important stuff in your NordLocker, and your regularly accessed files on the Seagate Portable 5TB drive.

I selected the Seagate Portable 5TB External HDD for both it's size and capacity, making it a great option for those who need a desktop HDD that can be quickly taken on the go. While the USB 3.0 connection doesn't offer the blistering transfer speeds of an internal M.2 connection, its a good compromise for a plug-and-go hard drive that can used across multiple
devices. And even if something does go wrong, 1 year of Rescue Service is included in the price.

As for cloud storage, I would go for the NordLocker 2TB cloud storage deal which comes with some serious security features, such as unlimited end-to-end encryption and secure file sharing. The 53% Black Friday discount also makes it super affordable.

This 5TB external HDD from Seagate provides a great backup option in a small, portable package that can be easily connected to most devices for quick backups and file transfers. View Deal

NordLocker offers a super reliable cloud storage service that is highly
secure while still making it quick and easy to store and transfer files. View Deal Best for capacity

Pair the Seagate Expansion 26TB HDD with Sync Pro Solo Unlimited

If you don't care about budget and simply have a lot to store, this is the combo for you.

Once again, I've turned to Seagate for a high-capacity drive with a
reasonable form factor. This Seagate 26TB External HDD is an absolute
monster, and if you manage to somehow fill it up during regular use, I'll eat my hard drive. This is a great backup option for big creative portfolios, a lifetime of precious family memories, or your home cinema collection.

I may have been too hasty on promising to eat my hard drive, because this Sync.com deal is actually unfillable. Right now, you can get UNLIMITED cloud storage with a 50% lifetime discount from Sync.com . That means the yearly price won't ever go up, you get exactly what you pay for, at the same price, forever.

If you're reading this, you're clearly prioritizing capacity over cost. This 26TB monstrosity comes with Rescue Data Recovery Services, so even if something does go wrong, you have some peace of mind. This deal works out to $9.61/Terabyte. View Deal

Sync.com offer some great features within its cloud storage plans, including 365 trash history, file previews, high quality on-demand video streaming and file access, and much more. View Deal Best for budget

Pair the Aiolo 1TB HDD with Proton Drive 200GB

Looking to spread the cost or stretch your dollars a little further? This is the combo for you.

When it comes to budget storage, you're going to have to look into brands you've never heard of before. The Aiolo 1TB External Hard Drive is one such example, but 1TB is 1TB. At a little over $45, this is a great portable external drive for photos, videos, and projects that don't take up too much space.

As for cloud storage, I've picked Proton Drive . Now, this is a monthly plan to help keep the cost down, but for less than $2 per month you can bag yourself 200GB of cloud storage for all your most important files, while keeping the stuff you need to hand on your 1TB external drive.

This budget external hard drive still offers all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a top-end hard drive. The transfer speeds are reliable thanks to the USB 3.0 connection, and its small enough to fit in your pocket. View Deal

Proton is based in Switzerland, meaning that all your storage is protected by some of the strongest data protection laws in the world. It's also end-to-end encrypted and doesn't put a limit on your file sizes. View Deal Best for
speed

Pair the Samsung 990 Pro 2TB internal SSD with IDrive 10TB cloud back-up

With great speed comes great compromise, at least for physical storage. This combo focuses purely on transfer speeds.

For speed, an M.2 SSD is the way to go, and with the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB SSD your file transfers will be done before you can blink. This internal SSD can rev up to 7,450MB/s read speed, and 6900MB/s in write speed. This is a super popular option for gamers, creatives, and professional.

Speed is slightly harder to compare when it comes to cloud storage as it largely depends on your own internet. But, for your convenience, I've picked the IDrive 10TB cloud backup purely because it offers superior syncing
options from multiple devices, all to one account. That way, you can backup all your important data whether you're at home or on the go.

The Samsung 990 Pro is one of the most in-demand internal SSDs around, and right now Amazon have knocked a quarter off the price. The speeds are more than impressive, just like the price. View Deal

The price isn't a typo. IDrive have actually cut the price on the 10TB cloud backup plan by a whopping 95% for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This is the biggest cloud backup price cut I have seen this year, or any year for that matter. View Deal
