Faulty in 3 weeks with no exhcange option
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After only 3 weeks this drive is causing my computer freeze, crash and blue screen. No ability to exchange and the geek squad member I spoke with was rude and told me exchange was not possible. This is an absolute scam, $140 for a dying drive.

One of the few refurbs that didn't work for me.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchase a lot of refurbed items since they usually work just fine and was excited to receive this based on the price and features, Unfortunately, that quickly disappeared when I installed it. It runs at Gen 3 speeds, not Gen 4, no matter what I do via hardware or software. The drive exhibited the same symptoms in a 2nd system as well. I'm not sure whoever at BB tested this upon return, but it doesn't appear they did more than see if a system booted/recognized it. I'm sure a new one at full speed would be worth every penny, but this turned into a very expensive Gen 3 drive.

Not properly tested
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When first received this item there was nothing visible from the surface that would say it was defective, but once I installed I would error message after error message. I ended up running in in multiple computers, but still just errors. Geek Squad needs better quality control when it comes to refurbished products.

Geeksquad certified if a joke
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought two of these same drives, when i installed them in my computer to update the firmware i stumbled upon a surprise. One of them was fine and the 2tb the other one was a freaking 250gb drive. Geeksquad people are incompetent as to when they test these returned drives they need to see the capacity or if they have been tampered with. Be aware of these geeksquad certified products.

Works perfectly! But…
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ok, so I ordered this for my PC at $105. It’s been functioning pretty well and everything works good! However, when I first plugged it in I was having trouble in the Bios. It kept on appearing as “RAID” as opposed to just standard “NVME.” This led to some issues when trying to install the windows operating system onto the ssd during setup. It wouldn’t appear as a bootable device. My theory is that (since it’s refurbished) it was used in a previous RAID system (multiple storage units acting as one) and when it was being wiped this particular setting of the bios wasn’t switched. This would explain its funky behavior, as the SSD was having a little bit of an identity crisis as it was now separated from the rest of its original RAID configuration. My dad figured out how to reset this setting back to NVME and now it works completely perfectly! Also, by the way, in windows it will show up as 1.81 TB because windows measures stuff as TiB, now TB, but still labels it TB. If you wanna know more watch a video on the difference between the two units. If anyone has questions please ask me! I love talking about this type of stuff :D
