Customers are pleased with the Geek Squad Certified Refurbished 860 EVO 500GB Internal SSD's performance, ease of installation, and the improved boot times it provides. Many appreciate the excellent price for the quality and condition of the refurbished drive, noting that it often arrives in like-new condition. The increased storage capacity is also a plus for many users. While some minor heating concerns were raised, they were not widespread.

    Sped up my 2012 Mac mini considerably! Less boot up time. Apps open and load almost instantly. Only thing I found difficult about the upgrade process was cloning the old drive. Used the “Super Duper” cloning utility I found while doing research on YouTube. Worked great! No complaints about the refurb SSD.

    Installed and formatted for Mac OSX, benchmark testing showing around 480-530 on read/write speeds. Load times on heavy game usage or file conversion around the 2 second mark. Don’t forget to enable trim, forgot to do so and it bogged down pretty quick.

    Excellent purchase! Usually I expect some use on a "Refurbished" item, but this time there was near ZERO activity according to a drive diagnostic program. Just enough power cycles to show Best Buy tested the drive.

    I purchased the refurbished Samsung 860 EVO 500 GB SSD to replace the storage in my sister's 2012 Macbook Pro and it runs as well as a new laptop. This product is an essential item for those who are looking to upgrade their storage space.

    Purchased as a refurbished SSD to use as a secondary drive for a PC build. I store most of my programs, media files on this and it runs great. Fast read/write speeds, too. Definitely would recommend refurbished SSDs from Best Buy to others.

    Great as a boot drive. Can kinda feel it slowing down loading into some games, could be bc its getting full. The refurbished part shouldn't worry you, works well nonetheless. Only regret is not getting a bigger size.

    What's the difference (except for $$$) from new? There were some additional stickers on the original box however, the drive was packaged & appeared to be brand new.

    I re-imaged my 7200RPM Seagate to the Samsung SSD and the performance was night and day. My computer boots up in 18 seconds where before it took over 45 seconds. Programs and OS in general seem noticeably much faster too.

    I switched to ROKU TV's to make it easier to "cut the cable". It's great having all the built in apps on this smart TV without having to buy a separate Roku or Apple TV device.

    Great 2.5" ssd. Dram and all but keeps up with the limitations of the Sata interface. Good option if NVME isn't available for you.
