  1. Jean

    Everytime these refurbished drives come up for sale I always grab a fistful. None have ever failed me and they always have plenty of life left.

  3. KEB1

    Excellent Solid State drive will give you consist preformance.

  4. Tokyo

    Very fast, and though refurbished, looks brand new with little usage.

  5. Isai

    It allows me to have better refrigeration, it is very fast, it could only be improved for now, it is the best I have ever had.

  6. Ramone

    5 stars we got this at a great price open box and it adds a bit or extra fast storage

  7. AlbertoG

    Excellent purchase for value. SSD had little hours on it when it arrived. Can’t go wrong and works.

  8. Adam

    I got it for a client’s computer and it’s a nice drive that works as expected. I will be buying more soon.

  9. Samsam

    I got this for my husband and he is so happy with this purchase! Highly recommend

  10. CharlieA

    I got fortnight and apex on my pc in 5 minuets so a good part for storage.

  11. Mucaro

    I am using this with an external case so I can use it for storage across multiple devices. It is really fast and great for the price.

  12. brewce

    Good great reliable works as advertised not a single problem

  13. michaeldogah

    I just love shopping at Best Buy. They have incredible deals

  14. Kondar

    Was stolen from my mailbox before I could get to it.

  15. LeatherNeck

    Great NVME drives. Fast and reliable. 980 Pro if you really need some speed.
    Bought BB refurbished and so far the drive has held up for a year.

  16. redCODE

    Run smoothly like new despise being refurbished. Samsung ssd is the best.

  17. Rosco

    My other hard drive was starting to get errors and saw a slot on my Motherboard What a deal for the price not getting to best speeds on an amd 4 370 motherboard but getting a solid 1800 write and read times. You can tweak to get better but you will not get full speeds unless your motherboard supports it. Still 3 x faster than standard sata ssd

  18. Audiognome

    Excellent drive for my gaming rig. The price was good and delivered in a couple of days.

  19. Myreviews

    Exceptional care done by geek squad
    Faster than ever boot times. Aprox 10 seconds to boot my Pc up.

  20. jameslapc

    It’s basically a 970 EVO Plus without DRAM been using one as my primary boot disk on my workstation for nearly two years without a hiccup. It’s a steal with the Geek Squad refurb.

  21. EddyAsp

    Excellent Samsung NVME fit perfectly in my HP laptop. Super fast and large space.

  22. someguy253

    so far so good, don’t listen to those guys that complain about how this item is not the pro, it literally says on website that this is not pro. just 980 regular. they do not know how to read descriptions. on that note i do wish they made a regular 980 bigger than 1tb…

  23. Mortez

    Made my 2018 PC so fast. Windows now is loading very fast and overall PC performance improved. Guess Samsung makes very reliable SSDs.

  24. F2002

    By the title says it’s a Samsung Drive can’t go wrong with those in my experience and the price on this refurbished model 1 TB for $40 plus Best Buy gave me a $5 birthday credit just made this even better deal when I got the drive I checked and only been powered on twice and had a few hours on it everything was just like brand new I’m using it in an external enclosure and it’s been working great

  25. Diana

    Great Buy. Building my own desktop was lucky to get this extra SSD

  26. Vortex

    Even though we bought it used the thing worked well! Had no issues and its fast!

  27. PTNYC

    Got in sale for good price. In store pick up was convient

  28. AnthonyP

    Great value and no failures. I have 3 of these running in 3 difference systems.

  29. Cgentry

    Works great, no issues installing it in an external enclosure. Ive written hundreds of gigabytes to it from some research data without problems.

  30. TerianD

    Quick and easy install. All for a cheap price with good speeds! Bought 2 of them!

  31. Brian

    Good purchase, I needed to expand my laptop’s memory and with this article I achieved it and improved the storage speed

  32. revotto

    Despite not having DRAM it’s a fast, cheap solution for upgrading older PCs and Laptops. It rarely dips into your system ram and even though I purchased it refurbished the one I received showed zero writes in Samsung Magician.

  33. NateTheGr8

    Great SSD got it refurbished and still works in great condition.

  34. Lysadin

    Fast fast fast! If you want some speeds equl to your ps5, then slap this in a gen 4 slot and go to town. This is where i put all of my games im currently playing. Load times in game are minimal!

  35. justinsane1185

    Serves the purpose and was affordable. Would buy again

  36. GeorgiiB

    SSD works perfectly, plug and play, run and drive,

  37. ShelJ

    Purchased two of these for two identical mid tower’s. One was fine and Installed without any issues. The second one had issues formatting. System couldnt see the drive. Had to remove and format in another unit. After that it worked fine.

  38. MikeF

    Amazing product! Really speeds up the process of loading into lobbies, and or pulling up things.

  39. PamelaF

    Runs really well and fast.
    It’s also really easy to install and to set up software for

  40. htrantx

    The SSD is checked out with Samsung Magician and got 98% good rating, This means it has been used a lot, but still OK.

  41. pcs1001

    Works great and the price was right for some extra storage.

  42. Ryan

    Does what it says it does. No complaints would recommend

  43. MiguelM

    Works well with my MSI gaming laptop I got from Best Buy. All my games work perfectly with zero issues.

  44. EmmanuelG

    More than enough storage for 5 big name games and good R/W speeds.

  45. Hellrayzr

    I am happy that i found this ssd card for so low. I have always trusted samsung products and this is definitely one of those items.

  46. George

    Easy installation, no screws but i guess that varies depending on you motherboard, i used 1 M2X3 screw. SSD is brand new, 100% lifetime remaining and works as advertised.

  47. Jesse

    Solid SSD, checking the history was barely used. Felt like a no-no buying used storage, but it worked out

  48. RogF

    Overall a good discount for a working product. Hve had zero issues with use.

  49. BrandonL

    Worked perfect for me, would definitely buy again for more storage

  50. AyoubG

    Very high quality and speed of righting and reading
