5TB drives: mostly portable
5TB is a size seen mainly in portable 2.5" external drives, sitting between the common 4TB and 6TB steps. The table above ranks every 5TB drive by real cost per terabyte.
- 5TB portable external: WD My Passport and Seagate Portable both offer this size — a lot of capacity in a bus-powered, pocketable drive.
- Fewer internal options: 5TB internal 3.5" drives exist but are less common than 4TB or 6TB — check stock and £/TB before assuming this is the size you want.
As with any less-common capacity step, compare this page against 4TB and 6TB — the cheapest £/TB on the day is not always the size you started searching for.
