1TB SSD prices
Published: Updated:
Internal and external SSDs with 1TB capacity, sorted by price per TB. Use the filter to separate NVMe, SATA and USB drives.
Prices coming soon
The first price import has not run yet. Once it has, this table lists new, in-stock offers from US retailers, sorted by price per TB, each with the time we saw it. We do not publish estimated prices.
What to check before you buy
Internal or external. This list includes internal and external 1TB SSDs. Use the filter to compare like with like: an internal M.2 NVMe drive, a 2.5-inch SATA drive and a USB drive are not interchangeable.
1TB is not 1,024GB. Manufacturers count 1TB as one trillion bytes, and part of the space is used by the file system. Samsung and Sandisk both note that usable capacity is lower than the label (Samsung 870 EVO datasheet, Sandisk).
Endurance at 1TB. At this capacity, the Samsung 870 EVO (SATA) and the WD_BLACK SN850X (NVMe) are both rated at 600 TBW with a five-year limited warranty. Endurance and warranty belong in the comparison, not just price.
Interface. SATA SSDs are rated at about 560 MB/s; PCIe 4.0 NVMe drives at several thousand MB/s (for example up to 7,300 MB/s for the SN850X 1TB). If your device has an NVMe slot, the speed difference often costs little extra per TB — compare it here once prices are in.
For a PS5. A 1TB drive is within Sony’s supported range of 250GB–8TB, but it must be a PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 NVMe drive with a cooling structure such as a heatsink or heat transfer sheet (Sony).
How to read the table
- Price per TB is the price divided by capacity in terabytes (decimal, 1TB = 1,000GB)— the fairest way to compare different sizes.
- As of is when we saw the price (US Eastern time). Retailer prices can change at any time.
- Planned sources: US retailers such as Newegg, Best Buy and B&H Photo. None is connected yet. Sales tax, where it applies, is added at checkout.
- New, in-stock offers only. Details: methodology.
