Samsung MU-PE2T0R 2 TB USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 2 (3.1 Gen 2) Blue

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £316.36 ex-VAT for a 2TB external SSD, the Samsung MU-PE2T0R is one of those “fine in every way, but not obviously a bargain” buys. Samsung’s solid reputation for reliability and sensible USB-C performance is real, and this drive will suit businesses that need dependable, fast-ish portable storage for everyday file transfers—backups, moving data between laptops, running installs from external media, that sort of work. If your staff are constantly plugging/unplugging drives and you don’t want weird reliability surprises, Samsung is a safe bet.

That said, I’d only recommend it with confidence if your priority is consistency/brand trust over squeezing maximum value per pound. In many UK reseller markets, you can usually find 2TB USB-C external SSDs at materially lower prices that feel just as quick for typical office workflows (especially when you’re not routinely hitting peak transfer rates). Also, if you’re doing heavy media work or large sequential transfers all day, you should compare against faster/narrower “high performance” options rather than paying a premium for “good all-round.” So: buy this for dependable business use where you value Samsung’s track record; think twice if you’re price-sensitive or expecting it to be an outstanding deal versus other 2TB externals.
