Samsung - Geek Squad Certified Refurbished 860 QVO 2TB Internal SSD SATA for Laptops

I bought this a portable photo drive for my wife. I put it in an enclosure and now she can use it on the desktop for editing or her laptop or even TV for viewing. It is way faster than a spinning disk drive, not that there is anything wrong with them. They last a long time. I wish I had bought two of these cause the amount of photos we take (10 month old) this is filling up fast. Being refurbished made this very affordable and only wish I bought two when they were in stock. I added a photo of the speeds and it suites our needs very well. This is highly recommended if you need capacity with speed.

Using it as a boot drive couldnt ask for anything better

I was a little apprehensive about getting a used SSD, not knowing where it came from nor what kind of use it may have been subject to... but the price was just too good not to roll the dice! I would probably not have gotten one this size for at least another year. And lets face it, to have the kind of performance we all want out of our PC's we need to use pretty much all SSD storage and eliminate the old relic 3.5" HDD's. But to do this you need one that's a decent size so your not always having to delete one thing to add another, and 2 TB in my opinion is the lowest size I would go for my main storage. There was no problems with it initially when I added it to a system for it's SATA drive, having a M.2 already for the boot drive. However when I took it out of that PC and went to use it on another build for it's main HD (Boot, OS, Files) it wouldn't allow windows to install on it, giving the error that no partitions could be made, which kind of has me worried.
