How much can 2TB store?

One 2TB SATA hard drive, in decimal units (1TB = 1,000GB), before file-system and RAID overhead. Each line is a division you can redo; the per-file sizes are our assumptions and say so.

Security cameras, recording continuously: 57 camera-days - 8 cameras for 7 days. The arithmetic: 3.2 Mbps ÷ 8 = 0.4 MB/s × 86,400 s = 34.56 GB per camera-day; 2,000 GB ÷ 34.56 = 57 camera-days. The bitrate is WD's reference figure for one stream (single stream, 1080p, h.265, 25fps), from WD Purple / WD Purple Pro data sheets (footnote 3); the 8-camera count is our example. A camera set to a higher bitrate fills the drive proportionally faster.

  • Photos: 400,000 photos (our assumption: 5 MB per JPEG)
  • RAW photos: 66,666 frames (our assumption: 30 MB per frame)
  • 1080p films: 250 films (our assumption: 8 GB per film)
  • 4K HDR films: 33 films (our assumption: 60 GB per film)
  • TV seasons (1080p): 66 seasons (our assumption: 30 GB per season)
  • Lossless music tracks: 66,666 tracks (our assumption: 30 MB per FLAC track)
  • Office documents: 10,000,000 files (our assumption: 200 KB per file)

2TB SATA HDD Buyer's Guide

💡

Value Picks

Small-capacity SATA enterprise drives are often available as refurb datacenter pulls at rock-bottom prices. Check seller ratings and SMART data on arrival.

📦

Shucking Angle

2-4TB external drives rarely contain enterprise mechanisms. At this capacity, buying bare enterprise drives is usually cheaper than shucking.

🏠

Prosumer NAS Use

Perfect for home NAS builds, media servers, and development environments. At these capacities even consumer-grade is adequate, but enterprise CMR ensures RAID safety.

⚡

IOPS vs Capacity

If you need IOPS over capacity, consider 10K SAS 2.5" drives instead. For pure storage, 7.2K SATA at 2-4TB is the cheapest entry point.

Frequently Asked Questions

14 in-stock listings out of 14 tracked; the cheapest is the Seagate BarraCuda 2TB ST2000DM001 at $59.90 ($29.95/TB). The table on this page is the live ranking.

Both are in stock: 8 new and 6 recertified or used. The cheapest new is the Seagate BarraCuda 2TB ST2000DM001 at $100.00, the cheapest recertified or used the Seagate BarraCuda 2TB ST2000DM001 at $59.90 - a 40% shelf gap between two different models, not a like-for-like discount. New carries the manufacturer's warranty; recertified a reseller's.

0 of the 14 tracked listings carry a manufacturer-sourced conventional (CMR/ePMR) recording value. 13 are not sourced either way - an unsourced drive is never assumed CMR here.

Seagate, MDD, WD, Toshiba - that is what has live or recently-live listings, not the manufacturers' full line-ups.
