Portable drives: what bus-powered really buys you

A portable drive is one that runs off the USB cable alone. That single detail — no mains adapter — is what separates the drives on this page from the bigger desktop units on our external drives page, and it has consequences for both capacity and price. A 2.5" mechanism has to fit a pocket-sized case and survive on USB power, so portable hard drives currently stop at roughly 5–6TB, and they cost noticeably more per terabyte than a mains-powered 3.5" drive of the same size. The table above ranks every portable drive we track by real £/TB so you can see that premium rather than guess at it.

Portable hard drive (2.5" HDD): WD My Passport and Elements SE, Seagate Portable / One Touch / Ultra Touch, Toshiba Canvio. The cheapest terabytes you can carry, and the right answer for backups, photo archives and console game libraries.
Portable SSD: Samsung T7 and T9, SanDisk Extreme, Crucial X9/X10. Several times faster, silent, and with nothing spinning inside to damage if you drop it — but typically three to five times the £/TB of a portable hard drive.
Rugged models: LaCie Rugged and SanDisk Extreme add shock, dust and water resistance. Worth it if the drive genuinely lives in a camera bag; otherwise you are paying for rubber.
What to watch for: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gb/s) caps a portable SSD well below its rated speed, and some very cheap high-capacity "portable SSDs" on marketplaces are not the capacity they claim. Check the brand and the review count, not just the headline figure.

If the drive is going to sit on a desk permanently, do not pay the portable premium — a mains-powered desktop external is far better value, and our external vs internal guide covers when to fit a drive inside the machine instead. Jump to the size you need: 2TB, 4TB or 5TB external drives, or read SSD vs HDD before paying for solid state, and price per terabyte explained for how the ranking above is calculated.

Frequently asked questions

How does disks.co.uk rank portable drives?

We rank every portable 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 counts as a portable drive?

A portable drive is bus-powered: it runs off the single USB cable and needs no mains adapter, so it fits in a bag or a pocket. Desktop external drives hold more and cost less per terabyte, but need a power socket — you can compare both on our external drives page.

Portable hard drive or portable SSD?

A portable hard drive gives far more terabytes per pound and is the better buy for backups and media. A portable SSD is smaller, several times faster and has no moving parts to damage if you drop it — worth the premium if you work straight off the drive or carry it daily. See SSD vs HDD.

How big do portable hard drives go?

Bus-powered 2.5" hard drives currently top out around 5–6TB, because the platters have to fit a slim case and run on USB power alone. Portable SSDs go higher still. Beyond that you need a mains-powered desktop external — see 8TB external drives.
