    2tb SSD

    I got this SSD just about a year ago and still works flawlessly. No issues and super fast. I use this SSD for my PlayStation 5 and still has enough space for any other games in the future. It seems to be perfectly compatible with PlayStation 5 and I have a Heatsink on it so it won’t over heat while using it. Definitely worth it and pretty affordable.

    Nice drive if you can get on discount!

    This was one of the 980 Pros that were affected by the firmware issue that leads to corrupted and non-functional drives. Fortunately I found out just as I got my m.2 and was able to update the firmware to fix the issue. Overall about 5000 MB read/write speeds in a Gen4 slot. Make sure to format it as GPT like your boot drive so you can use Resizable BAR with your 3000-Series NVIDIA graphics card.

    The "Best Buy" for an SSD

    This buy was simply unbeatable. The Samsung 980 Pro 2Tb SSD NVME M.2 I bought was refurbished and discounted to about $140. Theres nothing bad I can really say about this: it was already formatted so my board picked it up immediately and I assigned paths to it, it has read/write speeds 5,000-7,000Mbs, it's the price of an HDD and offers faster and more reliable storage, cuts out SATA cables and power so space is optimized. Simply the... "Best Buy" :D

    Basically brand new

    I've bought numerous refurbished hard drives from best buy and always got basically new drives with hardly any written data on them. I checked and confirmed my finding with samsung magician only 1.8TB written on hard drive. So I'd take those odds with the money saved then buying brand new

    Peace of mind with Samsung

    This is my 2nd Samsung 980 pro nvme. I have no complaints on this 2tb or the 1tb. I had been using the 870 SSD and upgraded to nvme.
