However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
    • Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Q: Do refurbished drives carry the same warranty from Samsung that come with the original? (I believe it's 5 years for the 850 EVO)

A: I purchased a different model Samsung SSD from Best Buy that was refurbished. It had exactly the same warranty and a new one.

Q: Can this be installed in a desktop PC?

A: Yes, it can. May need an adapter if you want to mount in the HD mounting area. This is a 2.5” drive and most HDD are 3.5”.

Q: Does the fact that it is a certified refurbished affect the performance of the drive at all? I need to know if there is a difference between this and a new one in terms of overall lifespan and performance of the product.

A: The difference between new and refurbished at Best Buy has nothing to do with condition or warranty. It may have been returned unused for many reasons like a torn box for example. It is just like buying brand new, except the price is reduced.
