I believe the 980 Pro was mislabeled, its a regular 980, according to the 1 review for the listing.
How do these Geeks refurbish these things again? Do they have mini soldering irons?

good deal, bought 860 250gb refurb evos last week at $32 per.

Also, as a fyi, had great results with bestbuy refurbs in terms of TBW. So far, all (6+) have had a very low count

3,500/3000 MB/s Read/Write, 300TBW (equivalent to 600TBW for a 1TB drive), TLC, DRAM. Samsung's full-on Gen3 offering.

Yes, it's refurbished, but it's also keenly priced. My understanding is that these typically have little prior use on them.

Refurbished, but that's a good price.

I don't think they are actually "refurbishing" them. I think the returns that have very little use and are in decent condition are put up for sale like this. I bought a Geek Squad Refurb Powerbeats Pros a few months back and they were essentially brand new. I couldn't find any signs of wear or anything.

Agree. I think they mostly just re-box them, as you say.

Perfect for all those low-end, bargain SD laptops you want to upgrade.

Keep it cheap.

I feel like despite only having gen 3 capable hardware i should still try to buy gen 4 on the chance i decide to upgrade.

But these prices are very tempting
