  1. IHeartTechnology –

    This is a great price for an external SSD and it was NEW! Great job Best Buy on providing first in class service and great products. Highly recommend!

  2. Docman –

    Great Item, small and compact. works with computers and smart phones, just not stupid iphones that have a connector that nobody else uses.

  3. rgphoto70 –

    This is an amazing value when you can get it for under $70. The SSD is very high quality and very fast. Comes with all the cables needed to connect to USB A or USB C devices.

  4. Imohbee –

    I use this portable to transfer 30+ gb of data at a time. Tasks that used to take more than 10 minutes are now complete in 2 minutes or less.

  5. HashtagMarcus –

    This drive looks and feels sleek and high-end satisfying finish and color. Performance is terrific so far, and no issue.

  6. Josiah –

    I love this hard drive. I use it professionally with the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k for video production. Not a single issue and it performs great for recording 12bit raw 4k video along with fast transfer speeds when it’s time to edit.

  7. dizzl3333 –

    I used this with my Nvidia Shield as extra storage for games and apps. It works great and has given me no issues so far. It is reliable and runs games and emulators with no issues

  8. IR33 –

    I’m using it on my Xbox one x to store games. It downloads the game a little bit faster then the console hard drive

  9. CYCLOPS –

    BACK UP BACKUP AND FAST! I LIKE IT. WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY!

  10. Marto –

    I bought 2 certified refurbished from Best buy. Both of them can’t be connected to any of the computers that I have. The brand new one that I have from Best Buy works perfectly.

  11. Caddinn –

    This was a great price option with the Refurb. I’ve had no issues with it. I formatted it so that it could be used between my Windows and Mac laptops. The portability and speed makes this great.

  12. Sony –

    This one is recommended by many for use with TeslaCam

  13. Erikdrillz777cod –

    It’s perfect. efficiently reliable. That’s no complaints it’s never failed and I got at a great price

  14. bvogt –

    used it on my nvidia shield for more memory works great

  15. Etienne –

    Super small. Very light. Lighting fast transfers. Love that it’s usbc

  16. Meme601 –

    Use it for backing up and Apple Products very lightweight almost makes you drop it

  17. leszaj –

    This drive is great. I use it to transfer files daily and it’s fast and easy to use.

  18. Bestbuyer1 –

    Good solid state drive and portable for data storage.

  19. Unhappycamper –

    I’ve order 4 of these hard drives and all 4 arrived and did not function. What’s worse is on 2 of them I had purchased the additional warranty and upon return was told I would only receive a portion back because every day counted as some time for a warranty I didn’t need.

  20. meowmeow –

    tight and handy and it has plenty of space and fast.

  21. Ryan –

    I really like this portable SSD drive. Now I’m able to backup my Mac mini never worry again about losing data. it comes with two cables USB-c to USB-c and USB-c to USB

  22. DrPrepper92 –

    I use this to increase the storage space on our XBox. It gives a lot more room to download games.
    So far it is working well. Once the XBox was unable to see it. I unplugged the SSD and restarted the XBox. Everything was back to normal.
    The refurbished version has not caused any problems and the cost is much less than a new unit. I figured for games why not try a refurbished unit for this? Not really any critical information on there – unless you are concerned if it does fail and your kids lose all their game achievements.

  23. ceec –

    nice and portable, no issues. comes with usb-c to usb-c AND usb-c to usb 3.0.

  24. Browncony –

    I use this as a bootable drive for my imac, which has a built in HDD (what a shame). This product drastically improves the booting of macos and loading of apps. This product is a must if you have a HDD only imac.

  25. Darren –

    Got this at the right price and there’s nothing to complain about. Came looking brand new and with all the cables you need.

  26. Someone –

    I use this for my Xbox one X and it’s awesome! Improves load times as well!

  27. Santa –

    Has been running flawless for 8 months. Make sure that if you are adding this solid state drive to a Nvidia Shield TV that the shield TV is on and running the latest firmware. If you don’t, enjoy the headaches.

  28. dcab –

    The copy speeds here have reached only 300mb per second, and not 550 as advertised. Also feels quite flimsy. I also had to figure out how to get this recognized as a hard drive on windows 10.

  29. HeRain –

    I love the cold aluminum feel to it. The read and write speeds are decent. Great option if you’re looking for an SSD

  30. Yolo –

    Was hesitant to buy because it was refurbished, but I’ve had it for over a year now and I have no complains. I use it exclusively on my Blackmagic Pocket 4k and it handles 4k recording without dropping frames. Highly recommend.

  31. Cristian –

    quick ssd, love the color, and the accessibility with every device is great

  32. TiPx –

    I bought this for my Tesla so it can record while I drive and also on sentry mode! I love this design cuz it’s so small!

  33. Comogozas123 –

    I love this memory. It is very convenient. It is very easy to use with the Samsung note 8.
    Very convenient for the transference the photo and documents.

  34. AgaliaFilms –

    This is a great match for my Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4k.

  35. Kitty –

    Took a while to set up but is good in the end. Baba booey

  36. MPRChagrin –

    Great compact storage. Easy to set up and use. Allows for easy access to my data,

  37. DhLee –

    Great value and functionality on these Geek Squad Certified Refurbished SSDs. I’ve been buying various of these from Best Buy and they have been solid – looked new and save quite a bit when on sale.

  38. cj888 –

    I use this item for loading games onto my Xbox One X. I load into games like PUBG, COD, and Battlefield series and I am ALWAYS the first one in the lobby. It’s great because I can get to any of the vehicles first in Battlefield, on PUBG I am first to pick up guns off the table. Game loading times are cut by 33%-50%

  39. CHOYAXXX –

    This is a must have for someone who’s always on the go like me. 🙂

  40. maziar –

    Price was good and product was identical to actual product with cables and ssd drive (no Samsung box!). No issue. Test speed just like the benchmark online and it totally solved my problem with my XBOX One X which was really slow on some games such as Cyberpunk 2077. Also, most of the enclosures and other drives keep getting disconnected with Xbox One (and One X) but this one literally no disconnection even when it goes to sleep. Cannot be happier with this product and also paid less because it was a certified refurbished.

  41. kain –

    Great for installing games onto my laptop via usb.

  42. sg0220 –

    This SSD is great. There’s no difference between this refurbished one and a new device. It works as expected. Data transfer is quick as promised. I’d read the T7 devices overheat and don’t end up transferring any more quickly than this one, and I’m satisfied with this purchase.

  43. Chris –

    Bought this for my Xbox One X. Speeds up game loads like a champ and in open world games, there are no loading frames in the distance. Just make sure that you follow the xbox instructions when installing or you will brick the unit.

  44. Richiedue –

    I love it and I haven’t hade aney problems with backing up my Datta and other programs grate.

  45. FlyingFish –

    Disk attaches to Mac with a small USB C cable. Easy to get unmounted and the disk itself is hard to format and find pictures. It also gets hot, isn’t super fast and will buy a different brand in the future. Have used internal Samsung memory sticks and SSD drives and they were all great. This one is a bit of a disappointment.

  46. bryanlovescats –

    This is a small slim drive that is easy to haul around and very convenient to use. The metal enclosure is also good at dissipating heat.

  47. Bert2020 –

    I have the Red 500GB T5. Nice drive fast. Plug and Pay, small enough to take with you. I like thet you don’ need a AC cord like some other drives.

  48. ThatMovieGuy –

    Didn’t work when it arrived. Returned it but wasn’t able to get another refurbished.

  49. Jesse –

    This is my 4th Samsung T5 I’ve purchased, all in varied gig sizes; 500gb, 1TB, and 2TB. The first two where for my Blackmagic Pocket 4k and 6k cameras. The 3rd & 4th are for my Tesla’s Sentry mode. Never had any issues with any of the drives. I highly recommend this brand and model of SSD.

  50. KarsonW –

    it’s not a bad deal, still working after 5 yearsssss
