Questionwhat is the warranty on this refurbished product?
Asked 6 years ago by tony.
- Answer 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.

QuestionI see two answers to the warranty question, which one is correct - 5 years from manufacture date or 90 days? Thanks!
Asked 6 years ago by Kipper.
- Answer 90 day warranty, not 5 years. They will only warrant drives that they themselves refurb. Geek Squad is not an authorized refurbisher.

QuestionDoes the Refurbished ssd come with the Magician software needed for the transfer of data like the new one?
Asked 4 years ago by Norm.
- Answer 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.

Asked 5 years ago by heymrjaykay.

QuestionCan I exchange the SSD in Dell’s Inspiron with this SSD?
Asked 3 years ago by Tori.
- Answer Yes You can. Fits any 2.5" slot. I put one in both my dell laptop and desktop. My 8 year old laptop is running like new again. I did do a clean windows 10 install with it. I cloned Dell XPS desktop. It's running much faster but not as cleanly as my laptop.

QuestionWill this fit an Asus x540s notebook pc?
Asked 4 years ago by ben.
- Answer This will fit any standard 2.5 HD enclosure or laptop that uses that drive. It's a bit thinner than a standard plater drive which can make it a little easier to get in place depending on the computer.

QuestionCan this go with a 2011 27 inch imac?
Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Yes, this drive can be installed in a 2011 27" iMac. You will need a 3.5" to 2.5" adapter bracket to mount it properly so it won't 'float' and potentially become disconnected. There may be some EFI (BIOS) issues to contend with, so be sure the iMac is fully updated to at least High Sierra before you make the switch otherwise it may not even recognize the SSD. Finally, depending on the iMac, there may be an issue with the HDD thermal sensing. A special adapter for that may also be required so the fans don't run at full speed all the time. Good luck!

QuestionWill this fit in an HP Pavilion DV7 Notebook PC?
Asked 4 years ago by BobBob.
- Answer There are so many models of the D7 that it is impossible to answer your question without knowing the exact model. Try looking up the specifications for your model number on the Net to see if it has a 2.5" drive bay. Otherwise, open the back of your PC to see if there are any 2.5" bays (some models came with an additional open 2.5" drive bay as well as a 2.5" hard drive or SSD).
