1TB external drives: the portable everyday size

1TB external is the size most people buy for a laptop backup, a photo archive or a console expansion. At this capacity the gap between a portable hard drive and an external SSD is small in pounds, so it's worth checking both in the table above.

1TB portable HDD (WD My Passport, Seagate Portable, Toshiba Canvio): the cheapest way to get a terabyte in your pocket, bus-powered over USB.
1TB external SSD (Samsung T7, SanDisk Extreme, Crucial X-series): several times faster and shock-proof — the better buy if you'll run games or edit off it.

Need more room? 2TB external drives usually cost only a little more per terabyte. For an internal upgrade instead, see all 1TB drives.

Frequently asked questions

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

We rank every 1TB external 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 external drives option right now?

The top of the table above is the cheapest of the 1TB external drives by £/TB today. Desktop (mains-powered) external hard drives are usually the cheapest per terabyte; portable bus-powered drives and external SSDs cost more but need no power cable and survive being carried around.

Should I buy an external hard drive or an external SSD?

For backups and media a hard drive gives far more terabytes per pound. Choose an external SSD if you will work directly off the drive (video editing, games), need shock resistance, or want it fast and pocketable — see SSD vs HDD.

Is an internal drive cheaper than an external one at this size?

Often, yes — an external enclosure adds cost. If you can fit a drive inside a PC or NAS, compare the internal listings on the full capacity page before paying for the USB case. If you need plug-and-play on a laptop, Mac or console, external is the right choice.
