If you're anything like me before I got a big hard drive and find yourself constantly running a little low on storage to save clips, pictures, and folders, you can pick up 14TB of external drive space for the same price as just 8 TB, thanks to the Prime Day sales.

If you're a Prime member, the Western Digital 14 TB Elements hard drive will cost you just $170 right now, which is over $100 off its MSRP. That's $10 cheaper than even Western Digital's own site.

I'm only a little jealous of the fact that I paid almost the same amount for less than half of this storage only a few years ago.

It is worth noting that this is not a gaming drive. It's not another SSD to pop your Steam library on. If you can handle slower load times, you can stick a library of older games with less intensive speed requirements on it, but you're getting an inferior experience to those offered by gaming SSDs.

However, the 100-200 MB/s transfer speeds will be fast enough not to keep you waiting all day to move files. I have a WD Elements myself (though it's significantly less capacious), and I fill mine with clips of video games, which I then edit straight from the drive. It's been a lifesaver for me, and it even holds tonnes of files from my degree, should I ever want to break out the old law exams or readings.

At $160, you are paying just over $11 for every TB of storage (or 0.0012$ per GB), which is a pretty phenomenal deal, should you find yourself running out of storage. At 6.5 inches tall and 1.9 inches wide, it's a bit chunky, and it requires a connection to the mains to work. It does get up and running with a single cable, though.

I've always been a bit of a digital hoarder, and my own WD Elements hard drive has meant I'm not clogging up valuable SSD space with files that don't need lightning-fast speeds.
