The "Best Buy" for an SSD
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This buy was simply unbeatable. The Samsung 980 Pro 2Tb SSD NVME M.2 I bought was refurbished and discounted to about $140. Theres nothing bad I can really say about this: it was already formatted so my board picked it up immediately and I assigned paths to it, it has read/write speeds 5,000-7,000Mbs, it's the price of an HDD and offers faster and more reliable storage, cuts out SATA cables and power so space is optimized. Simply the... "Best Buy" :D

Nice drive if you can get on discount!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was one of the 980 Pros that were affected by the firmware issue that leads to corrupted and non-functional drives. Fortunately I found out just as I got my m.2 and was able to update the firmware to fix the issue. Overall about 5000 MB read/write speeds in a Gen4 slot. Make sure to format it as GPT like your boot drive so you can use Resizable BAR with your 3000-Series NVIDIA graphics card.

2tb SSD
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this SSD just about a year ago and still works flawlessly. No issues and super fast. I use this SSD for my PlayStation 5 and still has enough space for any other games in the future. It seems to be perfectly compatible with PlayStation 5 and I have a Heatsink on it so it won’t over heat while using it. Definitely worth it and pretty affordable.

Basically brand new
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've bought numerous refurbished hard drives from best buy and always got basically new drives with hardly any written data on them. I checked and confirmed my finding with samsung magician only 1.8TB written on hard drive. So I'd take those odds with the money saved then buying brand new
