£780.64 inc. VAT
AI-generated summary
At **£650.53 ex-VAT** for a **240GB 2.5" SATA SSD**, this Lenovo doesn’t make sense on value. In most UK business builds, that money should get you a much higher capacity, and often on a faster interface too—so you’ll either end up with a cramped storage footprint or you’ll feel the cost every time you’re provisioning new machines. Also, a **SATA 2.5"** drive is perfectly fine for reliability, but it’s not where you want to spend premium pricing if the goal is “modern, snappy storage” across a fleet.
Who *might* buy it: if you’ve got a strict inventory/compatibility requirement (older servers/laptops that only take **2.5" SATA** and the OEM part number is mandated), and you need a drop-in replacement rather than a refresh. Even then, I’d only green-light it if you’ve compared it against other reputable SATA SSDs in the same capacity tier and found this is genuinely competitive after discounts/support costs. For most other buyers, I’d **avoid** this—either for better capacity at similar spend, or for faster SSD options if the platforms support them.
