    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.

    It came as a new item. Used for 20 minutes. Very fast as I moved my win 11 operating system in this drive. The Samsung Magician software, free for Samsung drives, was really easy to use.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I don't know why this was returned at point, I installed it in my new laptop and it's been working great, really like the performance of the drive. I reserved M 2 and I know that this Samsung drive what's had good reviews.

    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.
