My 75yr old grandma who can't figure out how to set the time on her microwave is more qualified to certify any electronics than any Geek Squad worker I've ever seen, and 3 of my friends work for Geek Squad for 2-3 years so I know exactly how incompetent they are!

Currently $350 new at Newegg and Microcenter.
I'd save the money and use the SSD as storage. They run cooler too. Personal preference though.
I ran Crystal Disk per the guidance here. Here is a screen shot.
I think I'm seeing it power cycled 21 times and 0 hours of powered on ???
Do these numbers look good? Anything I should be concerned with?
The box didn't look to be in the best of shape but the SSD looked new.
I also ran the Samsung Magician - That didn't really show details like Crystal Disk did. Although it did indicate that a Firmware update was available. It would not run the Firmware update via a USB Cable that I was using to look at the SSD.

A warranty could possibly replace a failed drive, but will not help at all in recovering lost data.
Warranties should replace failed drives, that's what they're for. SSDs are fragile, and not designed for permanent storage. A 3-5 year warranty is a much better option than a 30 or 90 day warranty.
YMMV with Samsung, I don't trust their SSDs after way they handled the 840 debacle

EVO is OOS
The evo is rated for far more writes than the qvo
So if it's a boot drive go w evo if it's to just to store things,wrote one time read many the qvo is fine
I also don't trust BB to not be somehow modifying the usage statistics to make the drives seem better than they are.
For VERY low data priority cases(Gaming PC where you play mainly online/cloud backup games) maybe the savings is worth it to some.
IMO: Don't buy used SSD's unless its an insane deal, which this isn't.

unless you're doing a ton of big writes (video editing/etc), you'll dump the drive to replace it with something bigger long before it dies on you, and it'll still be faster than F for general use.
I have 5 SSDs in my rig, of all ages, still rocking. Including my original 830 (128GB) that served as an OS drive back in the day, now relegated to one game install and a backup of taxes/documents/etc (i make a backup of those documents onto all my SSDs).
Anywho, that 830 128GB (10 or 11 years old) has only 11.4TB written, its supposedly good for ~50 or so I'd wager.
An 840 256GB Pro i have has only 3.4TB written
A 970 500GB EVO (NVMe) has 20.5TB (out of 300TBW)
A Crucial 750GB has only 4.4TB written
Also have a 1TB HP NVMe I haven't installed in a couple of years cuz too lazy to dig into the guts again.
An 870 2TB QVO with 720TBW will make a great game drive for a PC rig.
Probably about time to retire that 830
