16TB hard drives: enterprise capacity, consumer price
16TB sits at the sweet spot of the large-capacity range — big enough for a serious media library or NAS array, and often the single best £/TB on the whole site once Renewed enterprise drives are included in the ranking.
- New consumer 16TB: WD Elements/My Book, Seagate Expansion — simple desktop and external drives.
- Renewed enterprise 16TB (Seagate Exos, WD Ultrastar): pulled data-centre drives, tested and refurbished — usually the cheapest £/TB at this size by some margin.
- NAS: IronWolf Pro and Red Pro at 16TB suit a multi-bay array built to last years.
