I think there are 2 separate questions in this statement. But since you mentioned 1 TB, I will assume portable HD.
I have a Western Digital 4 TB with no problem. I have 1 TB Seagate with no problem. I'm Prime with Amazon and got WD at Amazon. Got my Seagate at Best Buy. If you're Costco member, they have "sale" of Seagate of different TBs just about everyday.
As for SD Card, I usually order mine from Amazon. Make sure you get the class 10. No problem with Sandisk or Transcend.
I never use refurbished.
Hope this helps.

I use the Asus Travelair. Since it doesn't have a display, you have to control file transfers using a smartphone. Otherwise, it is fully self-contained with a rechargeable battery. Works well.

The OP is looking for a self-contained hard drive with a built-in SD card reader and rechargeable battery.

I shoot Lexar Professional's, only...300mb/s, 2000X, in my Nikon D7000 , 64GB in slot A, (For NEF's only), and 32GB in slot B for (JPG's)
Very pricey, but worth it. (On Amazon: $120.00 for the 64, and $75.00 for the 32.) They do go on sale once or twice a year where one can save 20-40%!
Interestingly enough, I have never come close to running out of room! Last night, I shot over 550 images, in NEF RAW and JPG-Fine. (3.3gb in JPG, 9.2gb in NEF) (Just love the double slot 7000's!!)
(I probably have misunderstood what the original OP wanted, as I was sorta responding to the quoted comment on cards...so...sorry!)
I had considered an external HD for storage, but after putting in an SSD HD in the laptop, and the laptop having an SD slot, I just copy my image files to my laptop for storage until I get back to the office and move everything to the serverand it's RAID drives. Transfer from SD card to the SSD drive in the Laptop only takes about 30 seconds if the SD card is 20% full.

Ok, yes, good way to go.......Just don't use memory sticks, USB drives, etc. for long term storage. HD's the only way to go. Don't go cheap on the hard drive, (I prefer Western Digital products!)

This device will not work unless attached to a computer USB port. No direct SD card compatibility.

My mistake. I have the WD Passport Wireless, and don't need a laptop. Used it on two trips, downloaded photos on it during trip and downloaded what I put on it when I got home.
