Customer Ratings & Reviews

Can't go wrong with Samsung. Reliable. Used in an external thunderbolt enclosure still speedy as Diskmark shows. Sure it would be even more blazing inside.

No problems whatsoever, happy with the discounted prices at refurbished, works great and is very speedy

Got this SSD at a good price and works just as well as a completely new SSD, only had 1 additional power on count with 12 hours of use. Packaging was also safe and secure which was great to see too.

BB Geek Squad refurb drives are my go to now. A safe buy for a fantastic drive. Testing showed it was barely used.

Good SSD with good read and write speed. AVG speed while copying and moving is above 600 mbps.

Don’t let Geek Squad Recertification scare you away! I’ve bought several products and have had a good experience every time! Great value, best option if you’re looking for fast storage and trying to save a few bucks!

Got it for $65 before taxes. A good deal and is being used as a secondary game and data drive on my PC. Only had 1.8TB of data written on it when I got it. I used Samsung magician software to get those details

I ordered this on Black Friday deal. Such a great price for value. Looks like new.

The Samsung Geek Squad Certified Refurbished 970 EVO Plus 2TB SSD offers robust performance and reliability, making it a solid choice for upgrading your laptop. This SSD model utilizes PCIe Gen 3 x4 NVMe interface, which provides quick data transfer rates and lower latency compared to previous generations. It is compatible with laptops and boasts a compact M.2 form factor. Customers generally report high satisfaction with this product, noting its improved speed and efficiency in handling large files and applications. The refurbishment process by Geek Squad ensures that the device functions like new, providing a good balance of price and performance for those looking to enhance their computer's capabilities without the cost of a brand-new SSD.

I ordered this refurbished M.2 SSD to fill the second slot on my ATX form-factor motherboard. The SSD was re-packaged in manufacturer's original packaging, and that packaging survived shipping in an oversized brown box with no other padding. No shipping damage to the SSD. Once I had my PC's case open, I realized that the package did not include an M.2 screw to keep the drive attached to the motherboard. Thankfully I kept EVERYTHING from my original PC build, otherwise I would have had to go out and buy a new screw. This had me worried for a few minutes. Since I was adding a second drive, the SSD didn't show up at first in Windows Explorer. I found a tutorial online, formatted and assigned the volume using Windows Disk Management, and now it works great. Fast transfer speeds and I rarely see any hang-time when opening files. Good SSD for the money but you may need some DIY know-how to get it set up and working.

I cloned the system drive of my 5 year old computer to this refurbished drive to get double the space, and a huge boost in speed. It is working well. I recommend it.

The Samsung NVMe SSD is a fast, reliable storage option that delivers impressive performance for everything from everyday computing to heavy workloads like gaming, content creation, and large file transfers. Its NVMe interface takes full advantage of PCIe speeds, offering quick boot times, near-instant app launches, and smooth multitasking. Samsung’s strong reputation for durability and thermal management also means it runs efficiently and stays cool under pressure. Whether you're upgrading an older system or building a new one, a Samsung NVMe SSD is a solid choice for both speed and long-term reliability.

Even for a Gen3 this held up very well in my system regarding recording and editing. Easy to install and no issues setting up. Quick update and cached quick in Vegas Pro even with 4k footage.

I was hesitant at first, it being a refurbished product, that the drive health would be questionable at best, but i really didnt want to pay full price for a 2tb drive, and samsung is my preffered brand, which led me here. Its almost as if it hadnt been used at all, installatio went as easy as all m.2 installations do, read perfectly in disk management screen, once i had it formatted it was time to view the disk health on samsung magician: 1.8tb had been written, which is AMAZING for a refurbished 2tb ssd. Safe to say, it was the best buy.

I replaced and older solid state drive for more capacity, speed and reliabilty. It works as expected.

This is one of the best bang for your buck ssds you can buy. Ssd storage has plummeted in price, yet the performance is still there. This ssd is perfect for almost any application; gaming, pictures, videos, programs, etc. I bought the 2tb option and have had zero issues with it. It was easy to install and basically plug and play. I like how snappy my pc is with it, especially for the price.

Received a barely used drive. Rated for 1200 tbw for warranty purposes so <2tb written is nothing. No issues with the drive after using for almost a month.

Received in the plastic case, no Samsung black box. Looked brand new. This was the original version with the Phoenix controller and the manufacture date was 9/21. Installed it on a PCIe M.2 adapter card with no issues, was bootable. Had latest firmware on it. Only had 3 powerups and 168GB written to it. I went to register the warranty on Samsung and it gave me 5 years from last November. It looks like it just reassigns the existing warranty to the new user. Can't complain, this is a good deal.

Amazing SSD! Works super fast and has enough storage for 20 of my games with still 1 terabyte of storage left over

This SSD was easy to install into my laptop. It was recognized immediately on my Windows 11 computer. This SSD has worked great. Never underestimate refurbished memory from Best Buy!!
