  1. Morrison

    Bought refurbished, was able to copy existing image to this drive from an ADATA M.2 drive, which I know use as a secondary drive. No issues, fast transfer speeds. Works well.

  2. JReynolds

    I write, remove, and write data often. Works great.

  3. Bert

    I always buy Samsung for my ssds, they have the best performance and while they may be a bit pricier, they are definitely worth it. My games have almost no load time at all. I used this to play my best games as i want to have as minimal load times as possible. I put my os on this and my pc boots in seconds. It’s also extremely easy to install. Be sure to install it properly with all the screws and stand offs or your pc will not power on; it’s a safety mechanism.

  4. Giovanni

    The speed these have over SSDs is worth the money!

  5. fastapples

    This nvme really made my laptop’s booting speed very fast. I recommend you buy this without having to worry about the name “refurbished” since it still works as new! I had a little problem getting it to boot but that was my laptops bios problem since I dont know how put it to boot straight from it. I have to do it manually everytime but other than that, your laptop/pc might be different so nothing to worry about here! Highly recommend.

  6. CheeseDog

    The refurbished SSD seems good. It has low hours of use and in every way seems as good as new.

  7. Avowin

    Received mine and it had less than 300gb written on it previously, meaning it’ll have a long life ahead of it. Well worth the price, and runs incredibly fast!

  8. ISPESbuyer

    This SSD showed exceptional stability and performance. I will recommend to all.

  9. Tabor44

    Works fine with no issues. I am happy with my purchase.

  10. Jose

    purchased this since I was having issues with Windows, got it refurbished to test the waters and works as new. speeds are faster than my old ssd load times from reboot are about half the time and easy to install if you know what you’re doing ,

  11. mjgiri

    Cant beat a samsung evo! Snappy and great price on bestbuy!

  12. JLai

    I usually always buy open box now and it’s the same quality. This ssd has great speeds and it’s not breaking the bank. Planning to buy another one to expand my storage and future proof myself.

  13. Duolingo

    I upgraded from a USB-C 2.5″ external hard drive to store my Steam library to this NVMe drive on an external USB-C adapter. Initially, it was because I wanted a lighter weight option than a 2.5″ drive, but I was blown away at its transfer speeds even while using a USB-C adapter. This makes the best little external drive out there.

  14. Youssless

    replaced factory 128gb SSD in my Dell G7 with this one and it’s faster than ever

  15. mattyata

    I bought this to replace my old and aging hard drive and the difference is night and day! Boot times, system responsiveness and transfer speeds are blazing fast. Highly recommend!

  16. Saad

    Sucks, products started overheating and causing ever To work slow. Wont consider to book more of this

  17. PCBuilder

    Since it was refurbished it didn’t come with a screw to screw it in but it is an awesome m.2!!!

  18. Rafael

    There are better and cheap options, the quality is good for the price a heat sink would be cool

  19. jusha

    Despite being “refurbished”, the product was practically indistinguishable from new. Came in an anti static bag, original box, everything one would expect. For more information regarding performance, refer to the “new” product page as this performs exactly as Inteded.

  20. winie

    excellent product for the money !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  21. jaap

    Awesome ssd! if !TB is too expensive for you, this is the guy to get! 500GB is a decent size to hold OS, Apps and heavy software

  22. DarkSheep

    Awesome for being a refurbished. Would buy again and again…..

  23. KWOK

    The quality of the goods is very good, exactly the same as the seller’s description, very satisfied, really like it, completely beyond expectations, the delivery speed is very fast, the packaging is very careful and strict, the logistics company’s service attitude is very good, the delivery speed is very fast, a very satisfying shopping

  24. MonteMole

    little hot without a heatsink but runs as fast as an evo plus can run

  25. CyberDude

    Works as advertised. I would recommend for someone on a budget.

  26. Diver

    Great price! Works as expected. Will purchase again.

  27. CrazyChris

    This is the top of the line brand..best in speed..only the WD Black can compare…Geek squad refurbished storage has always been a great deal!!!

  28. Captaindisco

    2nd one of these as I transition my computers from SSD boot and OS drives to the newer M.2 standard..
    thing is lightning fast and I like the software you can download on the Samsung website for migrating your boot drive and OS..

  29. Asif

    Very fast. Easy to install. Had to use a usb to make bootable for reinstalling windows.

  30. EvoPlus

    Can’t go wrong with Samsung’s Evo drives. Picked up a 250 GB and stuck it in an enclosure, which makes it a very reliable and fast portable storage.

  31. FrugalGuy

    I installed this PCI SSD last month and I’m very impressed with the performance. Samsung Magician can be downloaded from the Web. Magician has handy tools and tests.

  32. RajNY

    Excellent product. Even though it says certified, it worked without any issue. Will recommend this product.

  33. EtherKeither

    refurbished still working after a year good deal aa

  34. DawsonC

    Good product, works as advertised. Use it as my boot drive.

  35. Jeff

    Amazing speed and quality. Samsung does it again. Would have liked the larger version to take advantage of more speed, but this one is suitable as a standalone boot drive. It’s great!

  36. Nullify

    Works as expected, no issues being a refurb. Magician reads practically as new.

  37. Nick

    The Samsung Evo Plus is probably the fastest and most reliable gen 3 nvme ssd. If your motherboard supports nvme 4.0 there are a few upgraded options in the market, but for 90% of people this will do the trick.

  38. Bobhogs

    Speeds as advertised. Easily installable. Affordable pricing.

  39. smviam

    This is ok but its only 250gb. I put into my desktop and not sure if it works but says its there. I would just get 500gb or more. I was being cheap it cost around 40 dollars.

  40. bobcat3333

    Don’t buy refurbished products , won’t last long because of previous use. The hassle of returns and money back. To take the item back out of the computer and reinstall a new one. Get a new one with a 5 year warranty.

  41. dragonmastr

    The box that the SSD came in was that of a Samsung 970 EVO Plus, however after opening it up the SSD stick clearly was NOT a 970 EVO Plus. A quick Google search of the model number shows that it’s a generic Samsung PM981.

  42. Pclife

    Well let’s just say it was a recycled pm-981 Samsung drive out of a laptop from 2018

  43. Matt

    Zero issues, Box was slightly damaged. Great overall

  44. JRaa

    Good, about 200GB had been written by the previous owner
    that is not big given the endurance of the drive.

  45. Demon

    While I normally use Amazon or eBay with off-brand SSDs (for cost reasons), I went with this Samsung SSD mainly because Best Buy could deliver faster than Amazon to my address.

    I put this in a HP t740 “Thin Client”, which I am using as a firewall for my home network.

    Unlike the stock HP eMMC, this Samsung SSD is detected by OPNsense and other FreeBSD-based systems like pfSense, HardenedBSD, and FreeBSD itself.

    I haven’t had one issue with this SSD since I put it in the HP.

  46. Aaron

    Great product, Samsung is always a go to for me when it comes to storage

  47. AtiqKhan

    Samsung Nvme Drives are best for laptops.As a IT guy I highly recommend it.

  48. llaiggai

    tools show the speed is what they claimed it would be. no issue as refurbished, probably brand new, and returned. I use this as my OS drive, and PC bios takes longer to boot than the OS. win10 good drive

  49. Eugene

    Working fast, easy to use. But not what I need, returned.

  50. dsantos20010

    This item came in damaged from the jump start. No good.
