BestDiskPrices - Storage Price Comparison & Tools
Overview
BestDiskPrices is a price comparison and tools site focused on storage devices. It lets users compare offers from multiple retailers for hard drives, SSDs, NAS, external drives, SD cards, and USB flash drives, and provides dedicated calculators to plan and evaluate storage needs.
Purpose
The site aims to help users find the best deals on storage hardware without visiting many different stores. It is designed to save time and money by centralising prices and offering tools to choose the most suitable storage solution for each use case.
Main features
Price comparison by category
The site offers dedicated comparators by product type: internal hard drives (HDD), solid-state drives (SATA and NVMe), network storage (NAS), external drives, SD and microSD cards, and USB flash drives. Prices are compared across several retailers so users can quickly spot the best deals.
Tools and calculators
A set of tools helps users assess needs and costs: storage capacity calculator, RAID calculator (configurations and redundancy), total cost of ownership (TCO) calculator, transfer time calculator, cost per GB calculator, disk lifetime estimator, power consumption calculator, backup time calculator, and RAID performance calculator. These tools support sizing a solution and comparing value for money.
Price statistics and trends
A dedicated section shows price statistics and trends over time, helping users identify favourable periods or trends for buying.
Browse by brands and retailers
Users can browse products by brand (manufacturers) and by retailer (shops), to focus on a specific brand or compare offers across different sellers.
Blog and resources
A blog provides guides, tips, and articles to better understand storage and make informed choices (drive types, NAS, backups, etc.).
What the user can do
The user can select a storage category (HDD, SSD, NAS, external, SD, USB), view products and their prices across multiple retailers, sort and filter by capacity or other criteria, and open product details and links to merchant sites. They can use the calculators by entering capacity, usage, or performance needs to get recommendations and estimates. They can consult price statistics, browse brands and retailers, read blog articles, and access About, Contact, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Service pages when needed.
User experience
Guided journey
The homepage clearly presents categories and tools, with direct links to HDD and SSD comparators and to other sections (NAS, external drives, SD cards, USB drives, brands, retailers, blog, statistics). The typical flow is: choose a product type, compare prices, then optionally use the calculators to refine the choice.
Tools that support decision-making
The calculators (storage, RAID, TCO, transfer time, cost per GB, disk lifetime, power consumption, backup time, RAID performance) are designed to be straightforward and to deliver useful results from simple inputs, supporting both purchase decisions and capacity planning.
Transparency and trust
Prices are presented as coming from identified retailers, with a note to confirm on the merchant’s site before buying. Legal pages (about, privacy, terms) and a contact option reinforce the service’s credibility. A frequently asked questions section answers common questions about product types, price updates, how to use the tools, and general use of the site.
Free and accessible use
The site is free to use. All comparators, calculators, and content are available without a subscription. The interface is designed to work on desktop and mobile browsers.
