Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works great as refurbished. No complaints nor loss of speed.

Amazing if you are on a budget and want an extra 500gb of storage. Not that hard and very quick to install as well. I also installed Samsung Magician software, which is a handy tool that keeps the firmware up‑to‑date and helps monitor the drive’s health

Great SSD especially for SATA and the $40 I got it for, but it doesn't come with mounting screws or a SATA cable. I had to buy a 2.5" to 3.5" dock to get the screws and had to buy a SATA cable separately.

I bought a used HP EliteBook laptop, which is at least 10 years old, more than 18 mos ago. The old 500 GB hard drive was getting very slow at start up, not only because it is an old mechanical drive, but also because it is over 80% full. I saw this Samsung Refurbished Solid State Drive at a low price on Best Buy. After cloning and installing, the only issue I have with the new drive is that when I restart (Windows 10), I get error messages that no drive is found. I don't know if the issue is with the BIOS. I just shut down and turn it back on instead of restarting. Not a big deal. SSD drives should consume less power than mechanical hard drives. I don't notice much of a difference in how long the batteries last. There may be a slight difference though. In terms of performance, the difference is very noticeable with the new SSD. It is much faster, especially at start up. I'm posting my review after a few wks of use. I am pleased overall.

Using as external backup storage. No problems being recognized by the computer. Fit in external case. Have purchased other Samsung before and they continue to work without any issues.

Excellent SSD delivered promptly and in perfect shape. Installed and working well.

If you can manage to get a hold of one of these for the right price, it is not a bad way to go for cheap storage. I typically buy these certified refurbished units for rebuilds. I install them into the laptop loading OS, download the latest drivers, and install the Samsung magician software to analyze the drive. So far I have not gotten one of these geek squad units that has had more than one terabyte written, ad has been in less than good health. If you’re looking for a second drive, or to get an old computer, running better than when it was new if it shipped with a mechanical drive not a bad way to go.

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.

Very Satisfied with my purchase. I've bought several of these 500GB drive and so far no problems.

I bought this to use on my Home Assistant machine which is an old mini HP. There is considerable disk use due to the high volume of statistics and events Home Assistant handles, in addition to more common logs and application use. The device is nearly 70% full and still performing great, with zero issues to date.

Just like every other samsung SSD its fast and always been reliable. Purchased to replaced the aging 2.5” HDD in my sisters laptop.

Great value with very little hours on the refurbished drive. The one I received had 10 hours and works great. Not a bit worried about using the drive in a PC or laptop. 870 has DRAM and that is a plus.

I bought this to replace the hard drive in my MacBook 2012. It’s incredibly fast, runs incredibly smooth, and installing it was incredibly simple.

Purchased as an HDD to SSD upgrade for an older Toshiba laptop at work I wanted to fix up as a shared workstation when needed. Install was straight forward and really sped up the machine and allowed me to install widows 10.

Fast, stable eztra storage. This should last a while with it's included dram. Worth a little extra money that the no frills ssd without dram.

Best price on the web 44 $ with tax and free 2 day shipping you can't go wrong with it thank you bestbuy =) Checked with Samsung Magician the drive has 575GB Written very happy with the purchase
