AI-generated summary
The Samsung T9 (2TB) is a solid “grab-and-go” external SSD, and it earns its keep for people who actually move files between machines—like project teams, photographers, consultants, and anyone with regular transfers to client laptops. In day-to-day UK office life it feels premium, stays responsive, and the performance is consistently good without the drama you sometimes get from cheaper drives. For £316.36 ex-VAT, though, it’s not a bargain: you’re paying for reliability and speed-per-crisis, not for the lowest cost per terabyte.
I’d recommend it if your workflow benefits from fast transfers (large photo/video exports, frequent backups, moving VMs or working sets) and you want a drive you won’t think about. If you mostly archive documents, keep occasional backups, or want maximum storage for the money, you can probably get better value elsewhere—especially from drives that don’t aim for top-end throughput. In short: buy the T9 if your time is worth it and the drive will be used often; skip it if this is mostly “set and forget” storage.
