Customer Ratings & Reviews

This drive resides in the third m.2 slot in my desktop. Once Windows recognized the drive, all was well. The drive was packed carefully and the package arrived promptly. Buying a refurbished drive like this results in significant savings on a quality product. I am very satisfied with this purchase. Best of luck with your computer projects.

Got this for about $25, which is an amazing deal (unfortunately prices have gone up quite a bit). At that price, it's an amazing deal, but as of writing the price is $55 which is quite a bit more than I'd pay. Still a great product, though. Fast read and write, easy to install.

Upgraded from a Hynix 256GB SSD to this Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB SSD. Used a USB C enclosure I purchased on ebay for $20 to clone the Windows 10 system using Macrium software. Systems runs slightly faster and I have twice the storage. The Geek Squad Certified Refurbished 970 EVO showed only 10 hours of use and 5 startups using CrystalDiskInfo.

I purchased this m.2 with a 2 year geek squad plan (just in case). Its been a year and a half and still running just as fast and smooth. I multitask alot and play a lot of variety of games off of it. Definitely worth saving the money and getting this one! No regrets!

This SSD is very fast--gets over 19500 on the Disk PassMark. This was listed as a "refurbished" item, but CrystalDiskInfo said this SSD was only powered on 3 times, so it was basically a new item at a used price. Excellent performance at a great price.

Like new. Fast. No problems. I was somewhat hesitant to buy refurbished, but it passed all the tests and works great. Recomended.

This was an excellent price. This is practically brand new, and it is just a pull SSD from whatever device. I would recommend it to anyone.

This drive is ridiculously fast and runs moderately cool. One of the best drives you can get at the moment. Fantastic upgrade from mechanical drives and still a great upgrade from an SSD drive.

My son plays this game called Rust and it took him 15-20 mins to load into the game everyday. I installed this today and he was shocked at how much faster the game loads. I didn't need anything fancy because this is just for a game. So the discounted refurbished one was perfect. I'm happy because I saved a few bucks getting a refurbished ssd and my son is happy. So 5 stars for making everyone satisfied.

Great performance and great value. I was skeptical of refurbished SSD memory but it's performance and my tests to track its usage showed those fears to be unfounded. Great value!

A great way to save money on SSDs. After you get it run Crystal Disk Info and make sure it doesn't have a lot of hours on it. If it is too high for you return it within the return period.

Yeah don't listen to all the fanboys saying refurb SSDs are crap, or you need the super-duper fastest PCI-E 5.0 SSD. Most people's use cases won't ever get near PCI-E 4.0 or 5.0 bandwidth so it ultimately doesn't matter. Also many of these Samsung SSDs are prior returns with little-to-no wear and tear. And even if they do have wear, they still have easily 5-7 years of service life left. By that time, you' ll have upgraded to something better. Just buy it!

A fantastic price point for a fine piece of hardware. Don't let the refurbished branding drive you away, these have had little use and are blemish-free. Wipe and you're all set.

Bought it refurbished for $40, yet it works like new. Worked right out of the box, I don’t like how Samsung won’t honor the warranty on refurb items

Just got this refurbished for a great price and it kicks butt on my other nvm SSD that came with my Omen. If you can get it buy it.

Pretty great deal as they're virtually unused but heavily discounted. I do recommend checking it with Crystaldiskinfo or Samsung Magician as soon as you get it to make sure yours works properly and you haven't unfortunately gotten one of the heavily used ones. If yours doesn't work well, returning it should be easy as long as you don't wait too long to do so.

No complaints here. Works great and cheap price! Would recommend

Bought it refurbished with 779 GBs of data written. Not very much at all. It's read is over 3200 and write is 3600 on my X470 Gigabyte Gaming 7 with a 3700X. Makes windows really quick and games load instantly. Samsung cloning software imaged my new 500GB Evo plus drive in 30 seconds. I recommenda 500GB drive so you can put games on it as a 256 GB drive won't have enough room after windows and other apps are installed. If you are a gamer or use large files for transfers. Stays at 38C temperature in my case with 7 fans. I would recommend for 60$ refurbished but I only had to use 30$ of my own money with bestbuy rewards.

This is one of the best PCIe Gen3 drives you can buy. It is decently fast and in my experience they don't get too hot (can run without heatsink). The geek squad refurbished models have never come with less than 100% drive health and have never given me any issues. I've gotten several of these at this point and they are still great drives in 2023.

The item arrived professional repackaged. The nvme works well and in like new condition.
