5.0 GB written- to me that is good as new.

Samsung is probably the best bet to get a refurbrished nvme because Samsung’s magician software can trace how many TB was written before reaching the next buyer (me). Suprisingly it was just 5.0 GB of writes! That is as good as new, but at slightly more than half the price! Great deal.

Samsung makes the best SSDs hands down. This thing is fast, very fast. Probably too fast for you!
Seriously, unless you are moving large files around all the time you can save a few bucks and get something else like a WD Blue. I'm talking to you gamer!
Better yet, if you don't mind cables get a 2.5" SATA SSD and save more.

The prior owner of the product had used it to an extent but for the price it is still a good value. If you plan to clone your windows OS on it please be aware that it can get tricky at times in a UEFI setup. I have done it no less than 30 times with the numerous NVME drive that not a breeze every time. It depends on your setup and not as easy as cloning SATA SSD drives. Suggest shell out money to buy an adapter for the purpose. The time-savings will make sense.

NVME is great hard drive. Small and good in performance. Price is lower than years ago. I would go with higher capacity at least 2 TB or even 8 TB so I can installed all my games and boot blazzing fast!

Overall SSD came out solid. Purchased a refurbished SSD and was feeling a little hesitant and even more so when I got the original packaging and noticed a lot of wear and damage on the packaging at first glance. However the actual SSD inside was phenomenal. Worked like new and after some testing found that it was barely used (about ~200gb read/written on ssd) and was running perfectly. For the price and performance, couldn't have gotten a better deal on an ssd.

Great M.2 at an affordable price! Worked and looked brand new. If you didn’t tell me I couldn’t have seen it as used in anyway at all. Would recommend 100% if a new one is too much. Thanks Best Buy!

Great price for an open box item. Looks like it was never used and just returned. Using as a SSD cache drive in a Synology NAS. Tested, working fast and flawlessly, so far! Price has increased $30 since my purchase. If you can find one and it’s on sale, you won’t be disappointed.

Had zero hours and 100gb written, not bad for a refurbished ssd. It arrived before the scheduled date and was packaged very well. It was in clamshell, inside a small box with bubble wrap and that was inside a padded envelope.

Was wary of it being a refurb, but checked the device stats first thing and there had been no data written to it yet. Most likely a return from someone who bought the wrong type of drive. All in all very happy.

Installed in an MSI Z370 Pro-A motherboard using Windows 10. Booted from the original drive, installed Samsung drivers, then cloned using Samsung Data Migration. Pulled out the original boot drive and she fired right up. Great speeds and excellent warranty. Would highly recommend.

The drive arrived like new. It was even manufactured maybe 6 months prior to my purchase. It had hardly any hours on it when I ran a disk check on it. Definitely a good deal.

Samsung SSD are one of the best you can buy. No exception with this. Refurb product came with original packaging(it always doesn't) so that was a bonus. Was lightly used but ok with me. Bang for the bucks!

Excellent drive so far! Window start up times are noticeably better than the SSD it replaced. I know it’s not their best SSD, but it’s probably the best value in performance for dollar.

Samsung 970 Evo Plus has the best ratings and therefore is still the best selling NVMe M.2 SSD on the market today. Mine clock around 3,500MBs consistently.

My refurbished m.2 SSD arrived practically brand new with only 47 hours of power on time and only 339GB written (according to CrystalDiskInfo). I would definitely buy again if I needed too.
