Get it refurbished and have no fear, save some $$$
This is an excellent SSD, the non-heatsink vs. 980 Pro with heatsink, also directly installed into an M.2 slot on my laptop reads 3454 MB/s read and 3294MB/s write. The heatsink version has much lower speed than the 980 Pro without the heatsink, so I put it into my M.2 slot on the motherboard of my desktop, and it had speeds of 2603MB/s read and 3381MB/s write. (Pictures provided of results) I've seen forums where there are obviously faster SSD's which came out at around the same time as this drive, but they are much more expensive. Overall, for the price and the storage space, I like this drive, and having a BestBuy in the neighborhood is even more incentive to go pick one up. I bough this refurbished one for half the price of the new one ($50 I think, and the new one was $89.99) and it only had a few gigabytes written to it, so it was practically brand new. I am very happy with it so far, I need to reinstall Windows onto this drive on my laptop, as it's currently running a 2TB Seagate @ 5400rpm which is just criminal. (Photos are of the same 980 PRO but with heatsink, I didn't photograph the non-heatsink when installing it into my laptop, unfortunately, sorry, but it's the same thing, just no heatsink, fits nicely in a laptop M.2 drive) BIG HEADS UP! So, this is a BARE DRIVE, so it does not come with screws to affix it to the mounting posts on your motherboard, this was a pain in the donkey for me, as those screws are super rare and I resorted to removing a motherboard mounting screw to hold the SSD down. So be sure that you have extra motherboard-type screws on hand, I couldn't find any at Best Buy and I don't know where to get them, I guess China? Best of luck!

Used Samsung SSD in ThinkPad TT570
I found a good deal on this Samsung SSD from Best Buy. It was refurbished, which means someone opened and returned the drive. I needed the drive for a lenovo ThinkPad T570 upgrade. Search for DrB DIY Samsung SSD and you can see how to replace the drive in that laptop. So far, so good. The laptop is faster than before since I replaced an old 512GB. Good product. Samsung makes good storage devices.

Samsung 990 Pro 1Tb NVMe 4x4 Geek Squad certified
I purchased two of the Samsung 990 Pro 1Tb NVMe 4x4 refurbished Geek Squad certified several years back when I built my current rig. It’s still extremely fast and hasn’t given me any problems yet. Would buy again!
