Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the Geek Squad Certified Refurbished T7 1TB External SSD, particularly its speed and overall performance. Many appreciate its portability and compact size, making it ideal for on-the-go data storage. The storage capacity meets the needs of some users, and they are happy with the good condition of the refurbished SSD upon arrival. However, a few customers have noted that the device tends to run a bit hot during extended read/write operations.

    T7 in box but no cords

    Received the refurbished Samsung T7. When I opened it, it refurbished T7 1TB External but didn't have any cords in there. So I have no clue how the heck to use with T7 without the cord that came with it. I need the original cords to use it to see the write and speeds it says but very unfortunately has nothing in the box. I'll be going to return it.

    I had bought this so I could put my work on it since I travel tons of places but as soon I plugged it in it would be shown as plugged in but nothing worked. Not a single thing to show it was on the computer besides the pop-up saying it was plugged in.

    Was great at first, a little slow for usb 3, but still worked great, then it failed without warning and I've been left scrambling to recover the data on the drive. Do not purchase refurbished anything from best buy, it's Russian roulette.

    Not happy with this purchase. I have tried this with several items and it’s not working. The drive lights up, but is not recognized on my either of my laptops or anything else I have connected it too.

    Bought a Certified Refurbished... wouldn't format in any way for a Mac. Drive failed recovery and all format options. I own multiple t7 2TB without this problem. Sigh...

    Ordered one, had no cords, and randomly hanged on formatting and data transfers. See my more detailed review on these refurbished drives under the T7 2TB model for more info.

    As in the title, it turns out saving $40 on a refurbished one was a bad choice. Buying refurbished is gamble no matter the vendor. Lesson learned

    The Best of the Best

    External SSDs are not new, but the Samsung T7 is truly remarkable! I purchased a refurbished one at a reduced price and wow! It is small on the outside, but huge in capacity. And it is fast! I installed it as an external boot drive for my M1 MacMini, and it boots within 3 seconds of the built-in SSD! Incredible speed and reliability (I have had one at work for a couple of years). Highly recommended,

    USB-c to USB-c cables were missing.

    I ordered 4 of these for Christmas gifts. Several of them arrived without the usb-c to usb-c cables. Fortunately I had some spare usb-c to usb-c cables. The drives themselves worked flawlessly. I'm not sure what "certified refurbished" means if some of the package contents are missing. The 2 TB version I ordered lacked the usb-c to usb-c cable as well.

    Quality external SSD with all components. Arrived without any issues, couldnt tell this was a refurbished product. Would highly reccomend for anyone with a standard hard drive to use this to supplement demanding programs.

    Initially I was somewhat leery about buying a refurbished product, but found the price too enticing to pass up. Happily, the drive works perfectly and I couldn’t be more satisfied.
