- 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.)

Lucked out, like new!!!
Took a chance on an 870 EVO 1TB refurb as a recent $5 rewards certificate was due to expire. Ordered on 9/13, shipped from Bowling Green, Ohio on 9/16 via FedEx, arrived in SE MN on 9/18. Ending up matching in price a new 870 EVO 1TB I got from BB back in February 2023 (but ~$10 more than the one I got from BB in June of 2023). Both also using $5 rewards certificates. Shipping box was 11x9x3 inches with no packing so drive box slid/bounced around. (But not an issue with an SSD.) Owner was impatient with the drive box and ripped it open instead of "slicing" the black 1TB sticker/tape at the top left corner. The owner's manual was never opened. Drive was wiped, needed to create a GPT partition and simple volume in Disk Management. TBW 98GB, Power On Count 5, Power On Hours 0. In a bit of "reckless speculation" it appears an OS install was attempted. (Based on the aforementioned two new 870 EVO 1TBs I installed as Windows 10 Pro boot drives. They had a similar TBW and Power On count when the install was done.) Evidently the OS install failed and the owner bailed without extensive troubleshooting. His/her loss, my gain. Woo-hoo!!! I lucked out with an essentially new 870 EVO 1TB instead of one that was burned up with mining, etc. Being paranoid, ran the diagnostics in Magician. The Diagnostic Full Scan completed successfully but took much longer than the previous two 1TBs. But I had the EVO in an Orico 6619S3-BK dock, the USB3 interface evidently slowed things down. Confirmed when I saw the Performance Benchmark was not supported. I moved the SSD to a system with an available SATA 3 port. Then I ran the Performance Benchmark and the Extended SMART Self-test which completed successfully. In conclusion, I feel a tiny bit less bad about not jumping on more SSDs when the prices crashed. I, like most everyone else, assumed the prices would always decline. [Phooey]

Great Upgrade for XBOX One
I removed the standard 500GB HDD and installed this 1TB SSD. Faster loading time and system boot up is almost instant. It was a great way to bring new life to an old console.

Exceptional Value!
SSD was in new condition. Runs perfect. I may be biased, but Samsung SSD are the BEST and the Magician software is a plus. I added the 870 to my 860 SSD. Speeds are tops in it's class.
