Geek Squad Certified Refurbishments
These drives are often lightly or even completely unused and can be a good way to score a great drive for cheap.
The 870 Evo Plus is Samsung's PCIe 3.0x4 drive. Its speed is below PS5 recommendations - if you want to meet PS5 recommendation and stay within Samsung, consider the 980 Pro. The 870 Evo Plus is 3000-3500 MB/s Read/Write and 600 TBW endurance with DRAM cache.
For reference, current price for a new one at Best Buy is $120 and at Amazon $113. Obviously those points could change at any time.

These units are NOT refurbed, not inspected, not tested. I plugged in the serial number, and Samsung showed it was made 18 months prior. Or, at least, the one the fraud artist has now.
After complaining to corporate, the store was instructed to give me a new one off the shelf. The store "Genius" automatons wouldn't do anything other than telling me to return and reorder. After I waited 3 weeks for the first one.
You don't. Returned items that have been used simply cannot be sold as "new." Then again, BB doesn't even check if they work or are not counterfeit returns.
