Customer reviews
Write a reviewGood balance between quality and price, can't go wrong with samsung
10/10 - Perfect for my computer. Very fast uploading, downloading, and application loading speeds. Stores plenty of files.
Amazing product - It works really great, I had no problems with anything, and the write and read speeds were pretty amazing. Everything was as advertised and honestly would recommend this product
Avoid Geek Squad - Less then a year in and the drive has become garbage and unusable.
Great Samsung SSD - Overall SSD came out solid. Purchased a refurbished SSD and was feeling a little hesitant and even more so when I got the original packaging and noticed a lot of wear and damage on the packaging at first glance. However the actual SSD inside was phenomenal. Worked like new and after some testing found that it was barely used (about ~200gb read/written on ssd) and was running perfectly. For the price and performance, couldn't have gotten a better deal on an ssd.
Amazing performance and quality for price - I bought this for my dad so he could run his OS on a faster drive for a pc I'm giving him. Great read and write times and haven't had any problems at all!
Great deal...at the time - Got this for about $25, which is an amazing deal (unfortunately prices have gone up quite a bit). At that price, it's an amazing deal, but as of writing the price is $55 which is quite a bit more than I'd pay. Still a great product, though. Fast read and write, easy to install.
he Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB SSD make it a cost-e - Choosing a certified refurbished product can sometimes be a leap of faith, but my experience with the Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB SSD, backed by Geek Squad certification, has proven to be a stellar investment. This refurbished solid-state drive combines Samsung's renowned performance with the reliability assurance of Geek Squad, providing an excellent storage solution for both productivity and gaming enthusiasts. From the moment I installed the SSD, its impact on system responsiveness was immediately noticeable. Boot times were significantly reduced, and applications launched with newfound speed. The 500GB capacity strikes a great balance, offering ample storage for the operating system, essential applications, and frequently accessed files, without breaking the bank. Geek Squad's certification process instills confidence in the product's reliability and performance. Knowing that the SSD has undergone rigorous testing and refurbishment by skilled technicians provides peace of mind, making this certified refurbished option a compelling choice for those who value quality and reliability in their tech investments. The Samsung 970 EVO Plus's read and write speeds are impressive, delivering a noticeable boost in overall system performance. Whether you're multitasking with resource-intensive applications or loading large files, the SSD's NVMe interface ensures lightning-fast data access. This is particularly beneficial for gamers, content creators, and professionals who demand swift and reliable storage solutions. The installation process was straightforward, and the SSD seamlessly integrated with my system. Samsung's Magician software, available for download, offers convenient tools for monitoring the drive's health, optimizing performance, and updating firmware, enhancing the overall user experience.
Great value - Arrived with original box and paperwork. There was very little usage. Would buy Geek Squad Certified products again.
wrong drive sent - Sent the wrong drive. I received a Samsung 850 2.5" SSD instead of this one.. I made it work though. Pretty bad when Geek Squad can't tell the difference!
Geek Squad/Customer Service Confidence Shook - Hello. I received my package today. In that package was a refurbished hard drive. The problem is, I needed an NVME M.2 hard drive, and you sent me a standard 2.5" ssd sata drive. The stickers on the box were correct the drive inside was a samsung 870. I ordered a samsung 970 evo plus. I understand that mistakes get made. However, the resolution was to go to the nearest store for a replacement or refund... So I have to drive an hour and thirty minutes to the nearest store, and get a refund, because I doubt they are going to have the refurb drive in stock locally? I spend a lot of money with y'all, and this is very frustrating. Now I am not only delayed in my build, abut I have to go out of my way to return this drive. I also have to question Geek Squads qualifications, if they don't know the difference between a 2.5" sata drive and an NVME M.2 drive
970 evo plus nvme - Great price, works great.Lower price than Amazon with free ,prompt delivery.
Nice upgrade - Purchased for upgrading my existing HHDs. Excellent choice!
Junk Drive - Failed in 14 months and nothing anyone can do to make this right
Great value gen 3 drive! - Perfect for an older system that would benefit from an ssd, without wasting money on gen 4 speeds that you can’t use. Made my computer from 2017 that was using an old sata ssd much faster!
Like new. No problems. - Like new. Fast. No problems. I was somewhat hesitant to buy refurbished, but it passed all the tests and works great. Recomended.
Good Drive! - Drive runs good but it run between 50C & 60C degrees! I guess because it's a faster drive!
Mr - Good product. I'll buy again. Also I'll tell my friend about it
BestProduct - Exelent Product, my laptop its very fast, Thanks BB
