1TB drives: SSD, HDD or NVMe?

1TB is the smallest capacity most buyers should consider for a main drive today — enough for an OS, applications and a reasonable games library. The table above ranks every 1TB drive by real cost per terabyte.

1TB NVMe SSD: the best choice for a PC or PS5 boot drive — fast enough that capacity, not speed, becomes the limit first.
1TB SATA SSD: a solid laptop upgrade where NVMe isn't supported.
1TB HDD: the cheapest £/TB, but at this size the gap to a 1TB SSD has narrowed — worth comparing before assuming HDD is the budget pick.

If you're likely to fill 1TB within a year or two, buying one size up at 2TB is often barely more per terabyte — see our storage sizing guide.

Frequently asked questions

How does disks.co.uk rank 1TB drives?

We rank every 1TB drives by real cost per terabyte (£/TB) — the live Amazon.co.uk price divided by capacity — so the best value appears at the top. Prices refresh several times a day from Keepa, with 24-hour movement and all-time-low flags.

What is the cheapest 1TB drives drive right now?

The drive at the top of the table above is the cheapest 1TB drives option by £/TB at the moment. Larger capacities usually cost less per terabyte, so it is worth comparing 1TB drives against the next size up before you buy.

Is a 1TB drives drive good value?

Value depends on £/TB, not the sticker price. Use the ranking above to compare, and open any drive for its full Keepa price history to check whether today's price is genuinely low.

What is a 1TB drives drive good for?

It comes down to how much you store — see our storage sizing guide. As a rule, buy one size up if the £/TB is similar, so you do not run out sooner.
