Buy with caution
I ordered two of these drives. The first arrived in the original box with two cables. The drive looked to be physically in excellent condition. When I plugged it in, it was not immediately set up in my Windows 11 computer. I went into Disk Management and found it had not been initialized. I initialized it and formatted it to NTFS. The computer then saw it and I was able to run speed tests. The results were slow. I tried the other cable and also got slow speeds, but different from the first cable. I then tried a cable of my own, and finally obtained the expected speed of 1000 MB/s. I then used the free software Samsung Magician on the drive. It showed the firmware of the drive was old, and allowed me to update to the most current firmware. I then used Samsung Magician to run a full diagnostic scan of the drive. It took 3 hours, but reported that zero sectors were bad. I have good confidence in this drive, and would have given this product five stars but for my experience with the second drive. The second drive arrived a couple days later, from a different location in the US. It was not in the original box, but was nicely packaged. Like the first, it looked to be in excellent physical condition. It also came with two cables. I tried each of them on the previous drive, and only one gave the expected results. So of the four cables I received, only one worked properly. Like the first drive, this drive needed to be initialized. I did so, but could not format it. I spent several days and finally cleared the drive, initialized it, and then did a quick format. I then used Samsung Magician to do a full diagnostic scan of the drive. The first time it ran for 15 hours and crashed after having only 60% of the drive - I suspect it overheated. At that point it showed that 4% of the sectors were bad. I restarted the scan the next day. It completed and showed that 7% of the sectors had been bad. I believe that the bad sectors would now be avoided by the system after having been identified. I ran speed tests, and got the expected results. However, after this experience I will no longer purchase Certified Refurbished portable SSDs and am unable to recommend them to any one.

Perfech purchase for my Tesla Dashcam
I bought this SD memory card for my Tesla Model Y Dashcam over a year ago(May2024). Honestly it was a grear purchase and was worth it. I have never had any issues with it. It records everything without me having to worry about space. Ill delete some videos here and there but never ever have i had to worry about memory. Works fast and it sets up easily with my Tesla.
