  1. AlexiaL

    Works great! Can’t even tell its a refurb. Recommend.

  2. MovieShowTime

    I couldn’t tell this was a refurbished drive. It looks and works like a new one. Lots of space now on my laptop. Easy to setup!

  3. JorgeC

    Very good product and fast shipping. Would reccoment to other people.

  4. MichaelR

    No issues with this refurbished SSD. Great speed and work perfectly upon installation.

  5. Dominic

    Bear in mind i did not add heatsink. Aware i probably should have got one but i was feeling cheap. No issues as of now. Would recommend easily for the price i paid

  6. IBoom

    Performs like normal. Samsung Magician showed it only had 2tb written and 36 hours total prior to me recieiving it. Not too bad. Starfield loading times are awesome with it.

  7. Unknown

    Great deal………………………………………….

  8. DitterNB

    I purchased several Samsung 980 PRO SSDs, and I have to say I’m disappointed. Most of them arrived without proper packaging or a box. This lack of packaging raises concerns about their authenticity and overall quality. While the SSD itself might be decent, the presentation and packaging issues are concerning. Two stars for the product due to these packaging concerns.

  9. Phathom

    Purchased open box. Pretty good, came with little to no hours used. No issues. very fast and reliable. Not worth paying for new or overpriced.

  10. SamH

    Decent for a refurbished drive, Samsung magician shows there was 4TB previously written, During benchmarking it got super hot and still pulled 6800mb/sec, really needs a heatsink. Overall, didn’t die and satisfies my game storage needs.

  11. TVbuyer

    Refurbished is nothing to be worried about. It works great and is at a great price point. There’s no real benefit to getting a faster SSD.

  12. Hinda

    Amazing memory, have been using it for around a month and a half no issues amazing loading and boot times.

  13. DavidM

    Perfect condition, no damage. Runs as fast as expected, Crystal Disks show it as no issues. As far as I can tell it might as well been new or was new. Fast as heck for gaming or and the ps5. I had a 1TB that I moved to the ps5.

  14. RedNation

    Worked perfectly for my Z490 and also works for PS5. Very good deal.

  15. Vahelius

    Looks like it was just a customer return, looks brand new. I have had 0 issues with this drive. I use it in my gaming pc that I also use for watching tv and movies. The speeds are incredibly fast, takes about 10 seconds for my pc to start up.

  16. Grubby

    This is my 2nd Samsung 980 pro nvme. I have no complaints on this 2tb or the 1tb. I had been using the 870 SSD and upgraded to nvme.

  17. Cbob

    Exceeded my expectations! Best value for the money.

  18. SeniorFloyd

    I scored mine for leas than $100 and will defineltly say it has performed better than expected. I used mine for my Ps5 and it works so well! Most defiently needed the extra space! Zero issues so far! Worth every penny!

  19. McCalliii

    Solid performance. Outstanding performance. Great Value.

  20. Scott

    The item was lightly used with barely any hours on it. Great buy!

  21. JohnVT

    Solid SSD. Great price. Bottom falling out of the NAND market has made SSDs crazy affordable. Replaced existing SSDs with this unit (2TB) in both my laptop and desktop PCs. This unit runs cool…even under heavy workloads rarely gets above 135 degrees F in my laptop.

  22. Mark

    This “refurbished” drive arrived with very low read/write and power on counts suggesting it was hardly used before it was returned, so these drives are a great value compared to brand new drives.

  23. SkidmarkWarrior

    Item was like new and immediately recognized after installing. As a secondary drive, you have to use Disk Management to initialize and partition before use, so if you’re not sure how to do that, it’s not hard, just search for it and follow instructions that you find; it’s only a couple steps.
    The drive is fast and makes video editing directly from it easy, and games load quickly.

  24. FASlane

    great drive but it showed up wrapped in a single layer of bubble wrap, no box or anything. zero protection at all. Hardware-wise it’s great but to ship it like this is horrible and it was 3 days late.

  25. Unknown

    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.

  26. Bigd1ckRy

    Was sent a brand new 990 pro with heatsink. Would’ve been sweet if it was just the regular 990 pro. But unfortunately i cant use the heatsink.

  27. LeeA

    I don’t usually buy refurbished SSD but since its Best Buy I thought I’d give it a shot. Caution for those individuals who maybe using this as an external drive.

    – The SSD was in a loose non-anti-static bag.
    – Unformatted (usually SSD have been formatted for 1st time use)

    HD seemed to format ok, but hope its as good as a new one.

  28. Unknown

    Good buy
    An excellent purchase! It meets the specifications perfectly, I recommend it.

  29. MaxJia

    it’s too good to use for laptop or computer.and it’s easy to use and easy to find out and get more ssd for app or picture

  30. SantiagoA

    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.

  31. Solomon

    The SSD arrived quickly, in good condition, i would not have known it were refurbished if it wasnt stated stated on the box.

  32. DomingoJr

    Bought it expecting a repaired drive, got a basically unused ssd. Using samsungs ssd manager, I checked the write life and it only said around 230gb, with most used drives in the terabytes.

  33. Niteowl33

    Can’t believe I’ve waited so long to get one of these drives. This thing really makes a difference!

  34. KimR

    Seven hours power on, 2.8TB written. Genuine. This was a great deal.

  35. flashdrive

    This refurbished SSD was a great bargain with low mileage.

  36. KEB1

    This is a excellent product. Stores data every well.

  37. JumelS

    Product is working great. Got to see how long the drive has been used and it was for only 96 hrs, recommend to buy it used.

  38. AndrewJ

    The one I received was dead on arrival. So I cant recommend it. Was easy enough to return for full credit though.

  39. ShannonP

    Pretty good.Worls well on my gaming laptop.Boots fast ,and transfers files fast.

  40. Cole

    Works would recommend minimum fifty characters yeet

  41. BigWillieSutton

    Excellent memory and I bought it refurbished and got a great deal,I have used this for 6 months with no issues!

  42. CristianG

    Easy install, drive works great and fast. I love having the extra space for storage now in my PC.

  43. Jimboslice

    Worked great and live Samsung’s software to image new drive

  44. KeonP

    Very satisfied with the item! I will definitely buy again

  45. Hanson

    Price was great. I got two and replaced my kids laptops without any issue. I had to get an extra m2 enclosure to clone the data but Samsungs software was easy to use.

  46. user749625

    Ok, so I ordered this for my PC at $105. It’s been functioning pretty well and everything works good! However, when I first plugged it in I was having trouble in the Bios. It kept on appearing as “RAID” as opposed to just standard “NVME.” This led to some issues when trying to install the windows operating system onto the ssd during setup. It wouldn’t appear as a bootable device. My theory is that (since it’s refurbished)
    it was used in a previous RAID system (multiple storage units acting as one) and when it was being wiped this particular setting of the bios wasn’t switched. This would explain its funky behavior, as the SSD was having a little bit of an identity crisis as it was now separated from the rest of its original RAID configuration. My dad figured out how to reset this setting back to NVME and now it works completely perfectly! Also, by the way, in windows it will show up as 1.81 TB because windows measures stuff as TiB, now TB, but still labels it TB. If you wanna know more watch a video on the difference between the two units. If anyone has questions please ask me! I love talking about this type of stuff 😀

  47. DanB

    Sweet deal with the refurbished item. Plus free shipping was good too. Drive is rock solid.

  48. user723758

    Was easy do it yourself install, and works great!! Only thing that could of made it better, would be it coming with the tiny screw that holds it in place!! Great product, at a better price!!

  49. petesidewalk

    Flawless performance, can’t beat the price for this excellent brand. Samsung 980 PRO 2TB PCIE 4.0. Great item.

  50. RolandZ

    The SSD would become undetectable every time I boot up and I’ll have to restart the PC to solve this problem every single time
