    Works fine. Being a refurbished item we'll see if it preforms as well as a new one. Used refurbished items in the past with no issues and a great savings as this was. Never tried a refurbished SSD....

    Great product but Certified open-box bad.

    It's a Samsung SSD. I've installed many for work and they have great performance and are reliable. Unfortunately in this instance I purchased a Geek Squad certified open-box. I usually have no issues with open-box items. And as I pulled it out of the anti-static wrap, I felt a sharp edge that shouldn't be there. I flipped it over and found the sata port bent at an angle enough to make a internal metal clip protrude near the port. I was surprised such an obviously damaged item passed through Geek-squad certification. Returned.
