  1. RagingStill

    I would buy the TB version but this one is just priced much better for the performance

  2. itech

    do you NVME lol, yes NVME is something to be envious of, this drive is super fast! If you really need the speed and can afford it, this is one of the best on the market but I highly doubt most people will see a difference compared to other SSD’s, it all depends on the use. I only use it as a boot and application volume, all my games reside on a Samsung 860 Evo which I also purchased from bestbuy. I do not use mechanical drives, except on my server for media archive, SSD is the way to go, buy any cheap SSD and it will blow your HDD away!!!!

  3. Spencer

    Finally reached a point where the storage is plenty fast for my normal use.

  4. Will2

    Samsung 970 EVO NVME is one of the fastest SSDs around and it was a great addition to my new PC build where it mounted directly on the Motherboard for max performance.

    Got a refurbished item at a very attractive discount and it’s been flawless and trouble free.

  5. Onlineshopper

    Amazing boot time of 2.5 seconds from power on to ready to use. Gaming is much quicker to load also.

  6. metalzu

    i was pleased with this samsung 970 evo 500gb ssd drive. only thing i wished is that they would have included a screw to secure it to the motherboard. ordered the screw off ebay and I had to wait another week to install it.

  7. Nitendo

    I bought two of these to spped up booting on a couple of HP laptops. They work great

  8. Junglist0682

    Windows Install was like 5 minutes only.
    No trouble with installation on the mobo.

  9. Champ

    had write less then 50 GB in total. just doesnt have a box but i dont care. best performance M2 SSD

  10. Jaximus

    was a bit skeptical buying a refurbished item but everything worked out. great upgrade for my laptop windows loads in seconds samsung makes some quality drives

  11. Michaelhf

    Dude who cares what it stands for, Right? I assure you that it’s faster than SSD by at least 6 times. You thought i have SSD why do i need this NVME crap??? I will tell you simple for one reason:

    Took the drive out of the packaging, I WAS WHAT THE HECK IS THIS? did i get scammed they gave me an empty skeleton from Samsung. DUDE!!! This NVME drive crap is what we should’ve had a long time ago.

    Installed windows 10 and fully updated to the max in under “DRUM ROLL” if i said 5 minutes i’ll be a liar.

    Man oh man, I was totally shocked by the speed. It’s almost instant. Fastest SSD takes almost 15 minutes just to install windows 10.

    Buy and use without ever looking back to HDD or SSD 🙂

  12. winchestereng

    I really would buy it again, flawtless, on time and super fast SSD for the money you pay.

  13. Yeezy

    Great speeds and easy to install. Couldn’t be happier to be using this for super fast load times on week my games

  14. Gravidon

    Great deal on a great piece of technology! Super fast. Works like it should!

  15. Vivek

    A really good performing drive for a decent price being a refurbished item.

  16. BlueSky

    It was open box, but all cables came with it and it works fast and great.

  17. JMCB1001

    Don’t use a regular SSD ever again. The speed and responsiveness is top notch!

  18. Speedy

    Fast, great quality, and hardly used at all. Refurb ssds are great, but you should still get the protection plan, just in case.

  19. georgeh

    so far so good, no issues at all, great upgrade to a Macbook Air 2017!

  20. Rmcstats

    Was a little concerned since it’s refurbished

    However BestBuy has an excellent return policy and geek squad cert was the icing on the cake

  21. consolez4lyfe

    My drive had about 10 hours of use on it and 500GB written to it. No issues so far. It’s been installed in a system for about a month now. Definitely recommended.

  22. Joel

    It was like new! Work great! Check with Samsung app and did not have more that 500gb write to the nvme. So is like new

  23. Phil

    Samsung have best M2 SSDs out right now and I got it for $59. Use it as my boot drive and boots up and runs buttery fast. Would buy again.

  24. EVOXGSR

    I was hesitant at first buying a refurbished drive.
    To my surprise very little data was written to the device.
    The price seems to fluctuate day to day but if you can find it at a low then it’s an excellent bargain.
    I have purchased 3 already and not a single issues.
    When the price is right again I will buy another.

  25. Aondrae

    I’m not gonna go into depth about the speeds just know that it preformed perfectly out of the box with the fastest speeds I’ve ever seen and it’s so reliable the entire time the transfer speed remains consistent to this day 12/5/19

    Love this and would buy another
    Also very easy to install!

  26. BestBuyer

    Bought this because I needed something thats sole purpose was to house windows to boot from. havent had any issues with it at all and its still extremely fast. Extremely.

  27. NVpcfix

    I own a computer repair business in Las Vegas. I use these all the time to give my customers an amazing value while offering them the most reliable drives in the industry. Samsung is the best in SSDs.

  28. Codybur

    I’d recommend getting a 240 GB one because these are best used as a boot drive, but if you can get one for around the price I did ($52), jump on it. I can go from my computer completely shut down to logged in to Windows within 10 seconds, no joke. I’d also highly recommend this over the Plus version, because it’s an extreme price premium for very little performance difference.

    Also, I know you can’t see it in the picture I uploaded because it’s under a heatsink on my board, but it’s there lol.

  29. Dave

    very fast small tech for starters who plans on building pc

  30. KahinDur

    My old laptop sudden became magical after I stuck this in its behind! It works on humans too!

  31. hanster

    Product arrived without original packaging but in static proof bag. Samsung Magician said ssd was in good condition with barely any data written and power on hours.

  32. Azret

    If you are in the market for an M.2 SSD but want to get the most bang for your buck then this is for you. You can find professional reviews all over the web that will show you that you can’t beat this drive for the money. My personal experiences with this drive and an internal SATA of the same class are wonderful.

    I had a little bit of a hard time getting my PC to boot from this drive but I still gave it 5 stars because I don’t think that is the drive’s fault.

  33. ShonnyG112

    It’s blazing fast reads/writes + instant start up to Windows woooooo!!!!!

  34. Perm

    Lightning fast speeds make this the fastest drive I’ve used to date. My MacBook starts up in ten seconds instead of four min and everything I do is instant. Can’t beat this deal!!

  35. John

    Incredibly fast SSD for storage, transferring, etc. Had it for a year now, no issues!

  36. Cfischer

    It’s fast and was cheap. Can’t ask for more. Other than requiring less characters for a review

  37. Revolutionx

    The Samsung Data Migration software is very useful, cloned my OS drive to my new Evo 970 un less than 30 minutes.

  38. flyit

    Super fast! I got this for a dedicated drive for MSFS.. very happy with it!

  39. Matt

    This drive is 500 GB. Samsung magician indicates it only had 400 gb of data written to it prior to my receipt. Like practically new. Good drive.
