    One of the best consumer SATA SSD's on the market, very fast and very reliable. These refurbished drives when discounted (500GB at $40 and 1TB at $70) are excellent deals (would avoid whenever not discounted to those prices or lower and just wait). I've bought multiple of these Geek Squad refurbished Samsung drives and have not had any issues and they've all had very little usage as you can see in my photos for three 500GB drives I purchased December 2021. I can confidently recommend these

    Solid drive, plenty of speed and easy to install. This was a great choice for a raltively cheap SSD. While it comes with 466GB after installation, the speed handles everything I can throw at it.

    What a great deal! Could have been the best money I ever spent. The Samsung software worked flawlessly to clone my 1 tb (315 gb used) to this 512 gb ssd. Now my old laptop is running like a brand new one. Awesome deal on one of the few high quality 2 1/2" form factor ssd hard drives. Lighting fast.

    This Samsung Geek Squad Certified Refurbished 870 EVO 500 GB SATA Solid State Drive worked just like a new one! Much faster than the old spinning hard drive in my 10 year old laptop running Windows 10 (which won't upgrade to Windows 11). A great upgrade for only $25. Was easy to clone old hard drive using Sabrent cable connecting this new SSD to laptop USB port and using free downloaded Samsung Data Migration software.

    Have been solid SSD's so far. I upgraded my entire family's spinning drives to these this summer. They have inexpensive 6 year old laptops now flying on Windows 10. Can't beat the price and you can also use Samsung's Cloning software for free with any of their drive. This was a big bonus for me!

    This drive has been perfect so far and easy to use. I've bought several of these drives and been very happy on how easy it is to copy the existing drive to this new drive. The speed is great. Things load so much faster than my previous drive.

    Using daily as a cache drive in an unraid server. In service for about 600 hrs so far. Fast, reliable. It’s working so well I’m considering moving it to my primary server to replace an older SSD. Can’t go wrong with Samsung and an open box/referb drive at this price point is a great deal.

    This is one of the fastest SSDs on the market. My old laptop was very slow, and with this SSD, I brought it back to life and installed Win 11. I recommend this SSD; it's reliable and the price is affordable.

    Not sure if review for new or refurb evo 870. Either way the same. I've bought a bunch of these from various vendors. Possibly over 100. Swap out old school mechsnical HDDs for these. Great for adding speed to an older computer. BB is competitive on price, and same day store pickup is a great excuse to hit nearby chinese resturant for lunch. Cheers.
