Samsung - Geek Squad Certified Refurbished 860 EVO 1TB Internal SSD SATA for Laptops
- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 1000 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)
- Storage Drive Type: SSD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Maximum Read Speed: 550 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
- Maximum Write Speed: 520 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
- Form Factor: 2.5 in.
- Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

- Usage: Everyday computing
- Memory
- Cache Buffer Size: 1024 megabytes (The data capacity of the cache buffer (or disk buffer) that acts as temporary memory for the drive. The cache holds the most recently and frequently used data to save the drive the extra step of pulling it from permanent storage every time it's needed, which helps increase the drive's overall speed.)
- NAND Flash Memory Type: V-NAND (Single Level Cell (SLC) stores 1 bit of data per memory cell; Multi Level Cell (MLC) stores 2 bits per cell, Triple Level Cell (TLC) 3 bits, and Quad Level Cell (QLC) 4 bits. Vertical NAND (V-NAND) or 3D NAND stores more data by layering cells vertically. Similarly, there are 3D MLC, 3D TLC and 3D QLC stacked cells.)

Q: Does this product have the same performance as a new one or has it been heavily used?
A: I have purchase four of these drives and the hours ranges from 2 hours to 64 hours highest use.
Q: what is the warranty on this refurbished product?
A: Best Buy's warranty is 90 days on the Samsung Evo 860 500GB SSD Drive. If you register the drive with Samsung it will state 5 years. Read down further in the fine print and it will state that Samsung will not honor any warranty on a refurbished drive refurbed by anyone other than them. They will not honor a Geek Squad refurbed drive.
A: 90 day warranty, not 5 years. They will only warrant drives that they themselves refurb. Geek Squad is not an authorized refurbisher.
A: The SSD itself does not come with any software on it. Samsung Magician is free software that you can download from the Samsung site. However, Magician is software for managing your SSD, not for cloning. For cloning your old system disk to a Samsung SSD, you need the Samsung Data Migration tool which is also free to download from the Samsung site.
Q: Are these drives marked "refurbished" in any way (like with a sticker or stamp or anything)?
A: The packaging is definitely indicative of it being a refurbished unit, but I don't recall there being anything indicating that on the drive itself.
Q: Will this fit in a ASUS Q200E?
A: YES
A: I ordered the 2TB and got a 500gb one. Be sure to check the drive right after receiving. Best buy scams sometimes.
Q: Is this compatible with a PS4?
A: Yes, this is compatible with a PS4.
