Samsung - Geek Squad Certified Refurbished 870 EVO 500GB SATA Solid State Drive
- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 500 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: 560 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
- Maximum Write Speed: 530 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.)

- Maximum Write Speed: 530 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
- SSD Endurance: 300 terabytes (The total amount of data that the solid-state drive (SSD) is able to write before it wears out, as specified by the manufacturer. Endurance is limited because the flash on a SSD has a finite number of cycles that it can complete.)
- Heatsink: false (Dissipates heat during intense operation for sustained peak performance.)
- Compatibility
- Internal Or External: Internal
- Product Compatibility: Desktop computers, Laptop computers
- Form Factor: 2.5 in.
- Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

- Encryption Algorithm: Class 0(AES 256) TCG/Opal v2.0,MS eDrive(IEEE1667) (The algorithm standard used to encrypt data on a device.)
- Usage: Backup, Enterprise/server, Everyday computing, Gaming, Low power storage
- Lighting Type: None
- Memory
- Cache Buffer Size: 512 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: Is this solid state drive compatible with desktop computers?
A: Yes, this solid state drive is compatible with desktop computers.
Q: Just what does "Geek Squad Refurbished" mean? What do you do to re-certify an SSD?
A: If you are buying geek squad, certified refurbished products, you are simply buying something with a fancier label than open box. The original in-store warranty/return policy still applies so if you are not satisfied with it, you can bring it back for a full refund. These are items people have typically bought, take it home, opened, used, and then returned, in the time frame/window. Best Buy takes back the item, inspects it, cleans it, if necessary, and will probably scan it with a drive diagnostic tool, to see if there is any corruption or damage to the drive. If the drive is good, they will Reeboks it slash the price a little bit and put it up for sale. So far, I have not had bad experiences with these, even though I’ve only bought three so far.
Q: Can I use it with macbook pro?
A: It all depends when your MacBook Pro was built. MacBook pros built after 2016 have soldered on drives which are non-upgradable nor replaceable.
