2.5" drives: laptops and portables

The 2.5" form factor fits laptops, portable external enclosures and small-form-factor PCs. The table above ranks every 2.5" drive by real cost per terabyte.

  • 2.5" SSD: the standard laptop upgrade — swap out an ageing mechanical drive for a major speed boost.
  • 2.5" HDD: still sold for budget laptops and NAS bays that need mechanical capacity in a small chassis, though £/TB is worse than a 3.5" drive.
  • Thickness: most laptops take a 7mm or 9.5mm drive — check your laptop's original drive before buying if the fit is tight.

For a desktop or NAS, a 3.5" drive usually gives far better value per terabyte. See SSD vs HDD for the full trade-off.
