Looking to bolster your Plex media server? The Prime Early Access sale is a perfect opportunity to grab discounted HDDs, NAS devices, mini PCs, and disc-ripping equipment. Here are the best Prime Early Access deals for Plex users!

Note: The Amazon Prime Early Access sale runs from October 11th through the 12th. We will update this article as deals expire or go live. Be sure to check out the best Prime Day deals on Amazon-branded products.

Many of these deals are exclusive to Prime members. If you aren’t a Prime member (or you unsubscribed recently), you can redeem a 30-day free trial now.

Best Deals on Server-Ready HDDs and SSDs

Whether your Plex server runs on a NAS device, a Raspberry Pi, or an NVIDIA Shield streaming stick, you need reliable HDDs or SSDs. So, we found killer Prime Day deals on server-ready storage hardware.

• WD Red 3TB NAS HDD: $60 ($11 off)
• WD Red 8TB NAS HDD: $130 ($120 off)
• WD Red 14TB NAS HDD: $210 ($260 off)
• Toshiba N300 8TB NAS HDD: $135 ($25 off)
• Seagate IronWolf Pro 8TB NAS HDD: $200 ($30 off)
• Seagate IronWolf Pro 16TB NAS HDD: $256 ($43 off)
• WD Red 1TB NAS SSD: $110 ($31 off)
• WD Red 4TB NAS SSD: $410 ($170 off)
• WD 16TB Elements Desktop External HDD: $240 ($210 off)

All of these HDDs and SSDs are intended for NAS devices. They offer increased reliability and should last for several years—they even come with manufacturer warranties. (The only exception is the WD Elements external HDD, which is a popular “dirt-cheap” option. You can remove the HDD from this enclosure and stick it in a Plex media server.)

Best Deals on Plex Server Solutions

Are you disappointed with your Plex server’s performance? Maybe it’s time to upgrade with a new NAS device or mini PC. Here are some popular options with killer Prime Day discounts.

The most powerful NAS device offered here is the QNAP TS-453D-4G. That said, advanced users may opt for the Intel NUC 11 mini PC, which is significantly more powerful than a similarly-priced NAS device with today’s discount.

Best Deals on Disc Ripping Hardware
