    cheaper and was brand new...great way to save some cash on a build. Would use crystal disk to see how much use is on it, but many times these are just returned open box and you essential get a new SSD for discount.

    Installed into a older laptop, the speed increase is like buying a new laptop. Install was easy and quick once the old spinning drive was cloned. Price was great and shipping was quick.

    Awesome product! Samsung's mitigation and wizard made it very easy to clone my hard drive. After I switched it, it went from 5 minutes to 8 seconds to boot up.

    Great deal. Make sure to check with Crystal Disk Mark to ensure the drive wasn't abused but mine and most others come with very few gb written/power on hours.

    The ssd was packaged securely and sealed in an anti-static bag. The drive was practically brand new and did require a format through disk management in win 10 to fully utilize it.

    I item worked as expected. I had no issues setting up. I am used this item only as a storage medium. This is a used item so i am not sure about the amount of data read/write cycles done. So i dont know how long it will last. But so far so good

    I have 2 of these samsung SSD's. one is about 2 years old the other is new (refurb) . both have been great. Get one large enough to migrate your operating system to the SSD and you will think you bought a whole new computer.

    When I installed and checked with Crystal Disk, it only had 3 boot with less than 4 hrs use. Everything worked fine and it seems to be a store returned wiped. Compared to the price, I am very happy with the purchase.
