Black Friday USB flash drive deals: What to expect, early sales
Having extra storage on hand is absolutely essential for everyone, as it’s not always best to rely on the internet to send them, whether due to an unreliable connection or the sensitivity of the documents. So, with Black Friday breathing down our necks – or, if we’re honest, already here – it’s time to finally get one (or two).
As always, Black Friday is a fantastic time to buy things because we see a ton of discounts. Better yet, some of these products are dropping to their best prices or, in some cases, new lows. Of course, not all deals are equal, so we’ll help you find the best one.

The best deal at the moment concerns the Samsung Fit Plus. This is a tiny flash drive that is literally the size of your thumb and can reach transfer speeds of 300 MB/s. As small as this model is, you want to make sure you don’t lose it by putting it on a key ring or lanyard of some kind.

Right now, the 512GB SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Luxe is probably our favorite deal, partly because of the discount and partly because this device has both a USB-C and a USB-A connector, making it useful with all sorts of devices.

FAQs
When is Black Friday?
Technically, in 2025, Black Friday arrives on November 28. In practice, however, Black Friday is already here for most retailers, so you don’t need to wait until the end of the month to take advantage of the best discounts.
What should I look for in a Black Friday USB drive deal?
We know that price and discounts are very important elements in any purchasing decision, but it is also important to look for other elements. One of the main things to look for is a strong, well-known brand. The brands we prefer when it comes to USB drives are Samsung, SanDisk, Corsair, and Kingston, to name a few. Capacity is also important, as is the transfer speed you can expect from any flash drive: you don’t want to fall asleep waiting for that file to finish moving.
Ideal discounts are also over 15%, although we like to see half-price deals. Most models have their prices reduced across all capacity versions, so be sure to check them all out in case one catches your eye more.
How did we find the best Black Friday USB drive deals?
We search for deals day in and day out because, although we love technology, we don’t like paying full price for things. Obviously, not every discount is worth our time, and we know exactly how to find these great deals. For Black Friday, we compare prices with their regular retail prices, check price history to see how much they’ve changed over the past few weeks, and see if the price drops are worth our time (and yours).
