I got a refurbished unit. It was as if it was new. No issues setting it up for my MacBook Pro.

No, I can't find out on the page, but I'm lucky, and it seems like there aren't any problems so far.

Some of these are Customer returns, Some people don't have Windows 10 or 11 to initialize the drive, if needed. All come with data removed. getting TBW might not work, as all drives are wiped clean.

Answer

These are wiped clean SSD's - You need windows 10 or 11 to initialize the drive. If you don't have 10 or windows 11 , don't buy - These are customer returns and had files on them. when initialized these operate like a new 2TB SSD - after wiped clean there is no TBW info available.
