Q: QuestionHow is it possible to "refurbish" solid state storage? It is my understanding that repeated writes over time cause degradation of the individual memory cells, and that is why the trim function must be used periodically to mark such cells as unavailable.

Asked 3 years ago by ROBB.

• A:Answer The refurb drives have limited write usage prior to being sold as refurbs. if you read the reviews, folks note how the refurb drive they purchased came with little usage - but not zero usage as these are refurb. Ssd life varies depending on the brand and type and other factors, hence the variance in price and make and so forth. All that being said, we’re talking A LOT of usage to exhaust an ssd, like the scale is years of heavy, multiple tbs of usage of writing not reading.

Q: QuestionWill it fit my Lenovo T15 Gen2

Asked 2 years ago by Ankur.

• A:Answer Yes, but you have to clone your original drive or install Windows and everything else from scratch. I have a M2 dual dock that I clone drives with. You Can get a single dock and clone with software. Since this is Refurbished it doesn't come with any cloning software. There are some free software's out there.

Asked 4 years ago by Spartan.
