External storage in Hong Kong: drives, SSDs and prices

Updated 31 October 2026

A USB flash drive in Hong Kong costs from about HK$60, a portable hard drive of 1 to 2 TB from about HK$700 to HK$950, and a portable SSD from about HK$2,000 to HK$3,500. Prices are approximate and quoted by sellers, so the quickest way to a current offer for your capacity is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Warranty and backups before service

One manufacturer's Hong Kong and Macau warranty gives two years on SSDs, USB drives, hard drives and memory cards. Warranty terms from a Hong Kong service provider also say you must back up the data in the storage media before an inspection. Keep a copy of your files elsewhere before you send a drive for repair.

Regulated firms and data storage

If you run a licensed financial business, the Securities and Futures Commission expects licensed corporations to make sure storage providers give at least 30 days' notice of a change in storage arrangements. A personal or small-office drive is not covered by this rule, but it shows why a second copy of important files matters.

Season and buying timing

Hong Kong follows the northern hemisphere pattern, with winter from December to February and summer from June to August. The season does not show up in these prices, which include promotions at any time, such as a discount on a 2 TB hard drive. Buy when you need the space, and check the capacity and warranty rather than waiting for a month.

Delivery and what to write

In your request, give the drive type (hard drive, SSD or flash drive), the capacity in TB or GB, the interface such as USB-C, the purpose, the quantity and whether you want new or used. Say whether you need delivery to Central, Kowloon, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan or Tuen Mun, and give your budget in Hong Kong dollars. Ask for the warranty period and whether it covers Hong Kong.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the storage you need in your own words, and the assistant asks for missing details such as the capacity or interface. It then looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Hong Kong and shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice receive your request and reply in the chat with their price, warranty and delivery. Your contacts stay hidden until you choose to share them.
