We rank brands on what can be measured today, not on reputation: each brand's cheapest compatible price per terabyte and how many of its listings have a heatsink with a verified fit. Right now BIWIN has the lowest starting price at £100.00/TB, across 8 compatible listings. The order changes as prices move.
