    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    I heard on reddit that these were refurbished drives were basically just returns and as such were practically new but for cheaper. I finally bit the bullet on one to upgrade my laptop and was completely satisfied. I checked it when I installed it and it had a total of 11 powered on hours, so yeah, basically brand new. It transferred my Steam library just as quickly as you'd expect from an NVMe. It has the quality and performance you'd expect from a Samsung drive and at an excellent price.

    Fast, cool, good SSD. I've had it in a desktop and an external case, and it has never throttled or thrown an error. 2 years of using it or thereabouts, and it's still running like new.

    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.

    Amazing! Refurbished is basically new. Only powered on a total of 2 times. Only had a couple hundred Gigs of data written. Like I said, basically new. Upgraded my laptop's 1TB to this 2TB. Much faster with double the storage.

    For a used (refurb) it hits pretty hard. Put it in a startech Pcie card in a pcie 3.0 x 8 slot and getting 3467 MB/sec READ and 3445 writes on crystal diskmark In a way better than the pcie 4.0 drives because it does not need a heatsink. The copper sticker keeps it under 60c most the time. Idles at 42c and 57c gaming off it. FYI it had a strange read write pattern on it when I checked the hours. Only 2 boots and 1.8TB written to it and 330MB read from it.
