500GB drives: small, cheap, and usually a boot drive

500GB is the smallest capacity most retailers still stock new — enough for an operating system, applications and a modest games library, but little more. The table above ranks every 500GB drive by real cost per terabyte.

  • 500GB SSD: a common budget boot-drive size, and often better £/TB per pound spent than jumping straight to 1TB if your budget is fixed.
  • 500GB NVMe: the fastest option at this size, good for a lean Windows or Linux install.
  • Watch £/TB: small drives frequently cost more per terabyte than a 1TB or 2TB drive of the same model — check the ranking before assuming small means cheap.

If you are likely to fill 500GB quickly, moving up to 1TB is usually only a small step up in price for double the room — see our storage sizing guide.

Frequently asked questions

How does disks.co.uk rank 500GB drives?

We rank every 500GB 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 500GB drives drive right now?

The drive at the top of the table above is the cheapest 500GB drives option by £/TB at the moment. Larger capacities usually cost less per terabyte, so it is worth comparing 500GB drives against the next size up before you buy.

Is a 500GB 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 500GB 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.
