Works great and has been performing decently in Asus ROG GU502. 3300+ and 3100+ R/W average real-world tests. Might want to throw your own hestsink on as this one doesn’t come with one. Worked well for certified refurbished as was a good bargain as such. Samsung specs say this should be speed-enabled but in Samsung’s own testing software it shows it as unavailable.

I purchased this drive to replace 1tb evo860 I had and what a difference it's awesome and works perfectly. It came without original box, but it works like brand new. Using samsung migrate software that came with my 860 I was up and running on this new drive in no time. I love my purchase.

For non-video editing (serious editing too, like multiple terrabytes a year) or CAD work that an engineer would do, it's good and a gold standard at this point. If you are the two other categories I mentioned, I would get a 980 PRO version instead.

Great SSD. Write and read times are both as advertised, around 3400MBPS. I was a little apprehensive about getting a used SSD for my OS drive, but it has been flawless so far, and Samsung's Data Migration software worked great cloning my data onto this drive.

I was a little worried about buying a refurbished SSD but so far so good. It came in the original packaging (covered in stickers from best buy though). The drive health was showing as 99% and it seems to be running just fine almost 4 months later.

Refurbished came in good condition and looked new. Formatting the drive was a difficult for me but I was able to get it to work and now I have more free space on my external drive now that it is saved on the new drive.

Works like it was brand new and it's used every day with some days 24-7. The original box was a bit threadbare but the plastic ase and ssd looked like they were new too. Very satisfied.

Very happy purchasing the geekside refurb of this. I powered on the laptop with this inside and ran crystal disk info. The drive had only been powered on for 2 hours and been booted twice so it was basically brand new. Very happy with it!

I am very happy with the purchase. It has provided me the capability to run multiple channels of digital audio recording simultaneously without a blip. Very hard to be disappointed with the 970 EVO.
