    Installed in an old desktop that the family uses. Ssd is the way to go. 30 second boot up, maybe faster. Good deal on a refurbished drive. Would buy again.

    I consider the Samsung Evo 860 among the best consumer and business (not Enterprise) SSD drives available. I've bought several of these refurbished Geek Squad ones and using the Samsung Magician software, found they ranged from 3 - 6 months old and 400 - 800 GB of data writes. I consider the cost savings well worth the approximate 5 - 10 per cent reduction in warrantee, plus they shipped and arrived with 3 days.

    Upgrading Dell HDD to SSD, installation was as easy as it gets, (watch the you tube videos). Only thing missing was cloning software, Google free disk cloning and go from there. Turned a slow laptop into a tablet.

    Samsung SSDs are the best

    My first refurbished experience with SSDs was with this product and another Samsung NVMe card purchased from BB. Both products have been solid and performant and there is no better vendor than Samsung for speed, reliability, and a trusted name for support if you need it. Happy that Best Buy discounts their Geek Squad refurbished products, but it seems to be rarer and rarer that true deals for Samsung SSDs can be had. Get them while they're good!

    I purchased this Samsung SSD to replace the slow hard drive in my late 2011 Macbook Pro, hoping to breathe some new life into it. Installation was super easy after cloning the old hard drive to the SSD with SuperDuper. My computer now boots up as fast as it ever has, and is much more snappier and responsive. I would highly recommend buying one these to upgrade a slow computer with a hard drive.
