Customer Ratings & Reviews

so fast,it out performed my other pcie hard drive by 2 times faster. my computer boots in about twenty five seconds ,from the time i touch the power botton until windows 10 is loaded.

PCIe speed, Samsung reliability, and a decent price to boot? What doesn't it have? Works great with Linux, Windows, and ESXi. Highly performant and highly recommended.

These are excellent and fast drives! It was nice to get a Samsung NVMe drive for such a great deal!

This speed is insane. Can't even fully utilize it but windows booting in 1-3 seconds is immense.

This was an easy install and I’m NOT a computer or electronics guy. Performance is incredible!

This increased my laptops storage by double and windows run faster !

This was probably the best NVME SSD in class when it was released, and is still top tier even today (probably only outclassed by the 970 EVO Plus). Up to 3200 MB/s read speeds. Reliable build quality. The only downside is the price, which is the premium you pay for probably the best line of NVME SSDs on the market.

I usually am leery of "re-certified", but since I'll know very quickly if it is no good and they take returns for 30+ days, I went for it. It's been rock solid and fast. My mobo needed some updating to recognize this m.2 as a bootable media, but once it was set up, it has all be smooth sailing. The price difference of recertified was well worth the risk.

I had to return this solid state drive when my desktop computer did not have a PCI Express 3.0 x4 slot (computer was too old). BestBuy was excellent about allowing me to return it. The drive itself was fine.

I knew that upgrading from an SSD like a Samsung 850 EVO or 860 EVO would be drastically faster, but if you like synthetic benchmarks, it's hard to "hdparm -tT --direct /dev/nvme0n1" on a Linux box and NOT have your eyeballs bug out of your head with this card! It was over 2 Gigabytes per second on reads which is probably way more than you can ever realistically use on a home system (especially if you're not doing AV production or similar.) That said, Samsung makes darned fine product and the warranty, the performance, and the solid Samsung firmware updates all clinch the deal. I'm sure a 970 EVO might be faster, but a refurb'd Geek Squad 960 EVO sure made me happy. Finally, make sure you buy a PCIe sled that's NVMe compatible if this isn't going into a newer mobo or laptop. I planned ahead and the installation was flawless.

A very fast SSD, you might wanna think about getting a heatsink because it gets hot.

This is faster than regular ssd. I used as my main boot up drive. Even though it is refurbished, but it worked great.

pros: very fast. easy install. open box was on sale

Was nervous buying refurbished but wow glad I did saved alot money geek squad wiped the drive and works great for a boot drive amazing speed

Don't be scared they're refurbished. I was too, but then decided to try it. Works like a charm plus for a few dollars more you get warrantee.

In my opinion the fastest most reliable ssd's on the market and use them in all my builds!!!

It was a good price, worked well. I'm using it as my primary memory just for my OS and 2-3 important software programs.

Installed in my desktop and it is much faster than the Samsung sata SSD I was replacing. A great deal.

I bought the refurb 256 sticks. Work great and looked good. Packaging was also good

It's been working perfectly as the primary boot device for my laptop.
