Samsung - Geek Squad Certified Refurbished 860 EVO 250GB Internal SSD SATA for Laptops
- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 250 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)
- Storage Drive Type: SSD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. 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.)
- Maximum Read Speed: 550 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
- Maximum Write Speed: 520 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
- Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

- Features
- Security Features: Software
- Data Encryption: true
- Encryption Algorithm: 256-bit AES (The algorithm standard used to encrypt data on a device.)
- Usage: Everyday computing
- Memory
- Cache Buffer Size: 512 megabytes (The data capacity of the cache buffer (or disk buffer) that acts as temporary memory for the drive. The cache holds the most recently and frequently used data to save the drive the extra step of pulling it from permanent storage every time it's needed, which helps increase the drive's overall speed.)
- NAND Flash Memory Type: V-NAND (Single Level Cell (SLC) stores 1 bit of data per memory cell; Multi Level Cell (MLC) stores 2 bits per cell, Triple Level Cell (TLC) 3 bits, and Quad Level Cell (QLC) 4 bits. Vertical NAND (V-NAND) or 3D NAND stores more data by layering cells vertically. Similarly, there are 3D MLC, 3D TLC and 3D QLC stacked cells.)

Q: Do the refurbished Samsung EVO SSDs come with migration software for cloning?
A: They might have it on their website but the software may only be for certain models and purchased new. Send a message to Samsung.
Q: What is the warranty on this refurbished drive?
A: I don't think it does. Mine was bad, should have been trashed and never sold per store employee (Manager?).
Q: Does Geek Squad guarantee that these refurbished disks have no reallocated sectors?
A: I gotta tell you that if you even know about reallocated sectors, just buy one and run HD Tune or Hard Disk Sentinel and check the health yourself. I did. If there is a problem then return it to the store. Jeez. I'd say the odds of what you are asking is less than 1% in my experience. These are not drives they are taking back after someone used them for a year!!!
