    Was a breeze to install in a ASUS Maximus IX Mobo. Fired right up. I definitely notice the difference going from a Toshiba mechanical drive to this thing. No problem it being a refurbished either. Still got the Geek squad warranty just in case though.

    I was skeptical of buying refurbished NVMe, but the price was luring me in. When I received it, the unit plugged-and-played after initialization and it displayed an operating time of 3 hours. I believe that was mostly due to Samsung testing the unit. I was so impressed with this one that I bought another one and it had an operating time of just 2 hours. Both are running flawlessly and the read and writes are running around 1.7GB/s. Now, I won't hesitate to purchase refurbished items from Best Buy in the future.

    The item arrived well packaged, and looked like a new drive. Checking the smart data for the drive showed very low usage and no errors. This is working well for an older system which would not take advantage of a gen4 drive, so in my situation, it was a perfect solution. Looking forward to many years of use from this one!

    Came in original opened packaging, and upon testing it was basically unused. The only writes on the drive seemed to be from formatting. Worked in my Razer Blade 15 Advanced (2018) without a hitch. It did get rather hot during the clone but I've had no issues with heat since. It's a very fast drive, and the price cut you get for being a refurbished drive makes it a great deal. You're basically getting an unused drive for a significant discount. It's a no-brainer.

    This SSD was in excellent condition with very few hours on it. I put it in my laptop and ran some diagnostics - everything tested fine. Highly recommend testing it for bad sectors prior to using!

    This drive is excellent. My one gripe with it is that it did not come with the mounting screws and i had to order those separately. It was a very good deal for this drive, and it works just as great as a brnad new drive.

    Drive was barely used and performs great. Wouldn't recommend at the current price of $55, but I'm sure it'll have another sale sooner or later.
