The definitive leaderboard

This is every product we track, in one sortable table, ranked by the only number that lets you compare a 100 GB memory card against an 18 TB tape on equal terms: real cost per terabyte. Click any column heading to re-sort, filter by category or condition, and search for a specific model. The cheapest terabyte on the entire site sits at the top by default.

Cost per terabyte is simply a product’s price divided by its capacity in terabytes. It cuts straight through headline pricing and marketing — a larger drive with a scarier sticker price is often far cheaper storage than a small one. Every row links directly to a current retail offer. For the reasoning behind the ranking and how the figures are calculated, see how we test.

$/TB rankings — questions answered

How is cost per terabyte calculated?+
We divide each product’s current price by its usable capacity in terabytes (capacity in gigabytes ÷ 1,000). A $180, 12 TB drive works out to $15 per terabyte. Ranking by this figure lets you compare any two products of different sizes fairly. Read more on our methodology page.
Why do some categories never reach low $/TB?+
Cost per terabyte varies enormously by technology. Tape and bulk hard drives are cheapest; flash (SSDs, cards, USB) costs far more per terabyte because the medium itself is more expensive to manufacture. A ‘cheap’ NVMe drive will still cost many times more per terabyte than a hard drive — that’s the technology, not a bad deal.
Do the rankings update automatically?+
Yes — the table reads live from our catalog data, so the order reflects the latest tracked prices each time the page loads. Sorting and filtering happen instantly in your browser with no page reloads.
