AI-generated summary
The Samsung 870 EVO is a safe, boring choice—in a good way. For £58.72 ex-VAT for a 250GB drive, you’re paying for reliability and consistent performance rather than any flashy “benchmark hero” features. In real office and SMB use (fleet installs, general business laptops/desktops, light virtualization workloads, replacing aging system drives), it tends to feel smooth and predictable, and Samsung’s track record with these drives matters when you’re not trying to debug storage issues across multiple machines.
That said, it’s not the best value if you’re buying purely on price-per-gigabyte. In 2026, 250GB SSDs can feel like a legacy capacity—great for boot/system-only deployments, but you’ll quickly find yourself wrestling for space on real-world images, patches, and user data. I’d buy this for machines that need a dependable boot drive and don’t expect heavy local storage (thin clients, office PCs with managed storage, or as a quick refresh). I’d think twice if you’re outfitting new builds where 500GB+ is realistically available in your budget—otherwise you’ll end up replacing sooner than you planned.
