    I just upgraded to a Lenovo Slim 5 14, but I knew the included 1TB drive wasn't going to last me very long: I edit photos during the day and do some light gaming from time-to-time, so I started looking for a second drive to fill out the additional M.2 slot right away. This drive is well-recommended, and the price on the refurbished version was pretty decent, so I went with it. Really happy so far: file transfer speeds are VERY fast. I'm a bit concerned about thermals - there's no way I can fit a heatsink into my small chassis, and the drive hit 62C the last time I fired up a game for a couple hours - so I may have to limit heavy use to the times when I can put the laptop on a cooling pad or elevated stand. Temps hover in the low 40s during regular use.

    If you're worried about this product being refurbished, don't be, I checked it with CrystalDiskInfo before I put anything on it and it had only a couple hours of use, so far, it's been great!

    When i got the drive i installed it into my pc and checked the health and write with Samsung magician, It only had 500gb written which was really good and had 100% health which is awesome i don't think I've seen the temperature go over 63C and I've been gaming a lot on it since I've got it. Every game I've played i loaded in fast and it works perfectly glad i went refurbished

    I’ve tried all sorts of SSD brands to compare and/or save money, but when it comes to reliability for uour boot drive, Samsung is still my best choice. They seem to last a very long time and speeds are vastly optimized thanks to their drivers and magician sorware that helps you keep an eye on new firmware and settings.

    This SSD is a refurbished one from Geeksquad, but it runs faster than any new used one on the market. The price for it was essentially a steal and best of all, it took only a few days to deliver, its performance is amazing, it used to take 10+ minutes for my old hard drive to load every detail of a game, but now with this it only takes 30-60 seconds before I’m fully loaded. Now i can use that free time to think about learning a useful skill or hobby. (key point there is “think about” lets not get crazy here) but overall im so happy with my purchase, couldn’t have made a better choice with who to purchase from, thank you Best Buy.

    I received the item in a damaged box that had multiple stickers on it. When I first checked the drive with the Samsung Magician app, it did not recognize the SSD. I’ve heard reports of counterfeit or mislabeled SSDs being sold as refurbished or open-box items from various retailers, so I proceeded with caution. After reformatting the drive using Windows Disk Management, the Samsung Magician app was finally able to detect it. I also verified the drive using CrystalDiskInfo, which showed only 7 hours of total use. Based on that, I believe it was ultimately a good purchase—especially at half the regular price. Nonetheless, I recommend inspecting and testing carefully upon receipt.

    Downloaded the Samsung Magician Software and did the Data Migration from the c: drive to the M.2 NVMe to USB-C enclosure with the Samsung 990PRO 2TB. All went well in 20 minutes. I removed the original Samsung 1TB stick and installed the new one. My desktop started without any issues.
