Honestly, I wouldn’t touch this unless you’ve got a very specific reason. A 120GB 2.5" SATA SSD at £336 ex-VAT is wildly poor value in 2026—capacity is tight for anything beyond a lean Windows install and a few apps, and you’re paying a premium that you could spend on a much larger SSD (or even a faster drive) from the same sort of suppliers. In day-to-day use, the “feel” of an SSD is only half the story—the other half is how quickly you run out of space and end up juggling deployments, caches, temp files, or user profiles.
Who *might* justify it: a legacy desktop or server that only takes 2.5" SATA drives, where you’re forced to stay with that interface and you truly only need a small system volume. If you’re rebuilding old kit for admin tasks, basic document/workstation usage, or as a boot drive for kiosks/VM hosts where storage is elsewhere, it can make sense. But if you have any flexibility at all—choose capacity first, and avoid overpaying for a small SATA drive. For most UK business refreshes, this price/size combo is a “no” from me.
