    Plugged it into my PC and my PC couldn't see it. It was nowhere to be found in file explorer. Downloaded Samsung software, updated the drive, and my computer still didn't recognize it. Tried it on a second PC and still nothing. Tried to troubleshoot, but had no luck. It's supposed to be plug-and-play. I rolled the dice on a refurbished unit and in this case, it didn't work.
