£156.26 inc. VAT
AI-generated summary
At £130.28 ex-VAT for a 1TB Samsung NVMe drive, this is the kind of “buy it once, stop thinking about it” storage option I’d recommend to most office and server-adjacent setups that need fast, reliable boot/app/workload performance. Samsung’s TLC NVMe drives tend to behave very predictably under everyday business use, and they’re typically easy to deploy and trouble-free in mixed fleets—especially if you’re buying for laptops/desktops, VDI scratch volumes, or general internal file/app workloads where you want solid latency rather than marketing peak speeds.
That said, I wouldn’t buy this as a pure price-performance play if your priority is squeezing every last pound for non-critical storage. If the drives are mostly for bulk data, backups, or low-IO tasks, you can usually get similar “good enough” user experience cheaper with other reputable brands. Also, make sure your system has an NVMe slot that’s actually wired to deliver PCIe 4.0—otherwise you’re paying for a capability you won’t fully realise. If you tell me what devices/server workload you’re putting it into (and whether it’s client, NAS/VM host, or something else), I can sanity-check whether this is the right spend or whether you could do better.
