2TB external hard drives: the most-searched size in the UK

2TB external is the sweet spot for a plug-in backup drive: enough for years of photos and documents or a large console library, still cheap, and available as a portable drive with no power cable. The table above ranks every 2TB external hard drive and SSD by real £/TB, so the cheapest 2TB external hard drive on Amazon.co.uk today is at the top.

Portable 2TB HDD: WD My Passport, Seagate Portable / One Touch, Toshiba Canvio — typically the lowest £/TB on this page.
2TB external SSD: Samsung T7 / T9, SanDisk Extreme, Crucial X9 — far faster, ideal for PS5/Xbox game storage or video work.
Desktop 2TB external: rarer at this size; the 3.5" mains-powered drives start to make sense from 4TB up.

Compare with all 2TB drives if you could fit an internal drive instead, or step up to 4TB external for a better £/TB.

Frequently asked questions

How does disks.co.uk rank 2TB external drives?

We rank every 2TB 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 2TB external drives option right now?

The top of the table above is the cheapest of the 2TB 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.
