When it comes to Samsung I don't think there's a NVME drive that can be called "bad", the later ones use QLC so might last less but for even that for average user should be plenty.
If you don't have enclosure they also offer external one for $59 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/...Id=6415699
P.S. Upon reading some one star reviews it seems these refurbished drives might have issue depending on their previous use. I would check right away their previous use numbers (TB written and power on hours) and if too high I would return IMO.

Is this recommendation based upon the fact that these are refurbished, or rather some concern regarding their performance?
Good luck!

When it came to mechanical drives the hours used didn't matter but when it comes to these it definitely does matter. Matter of fact with mechanical drives sometimes when they're about to fail you can hear the clicking so you know ahead of time it's needing to be taken care of but with these solid state drives you got to try and turn on your computer one day and there is nothing all your data is gone in the blink of an eye.
For your primary operating system Drive I would highly recommend getting a fresh brand new zero hours worth of use Drive.

Isnt the Team Group MP44L 1T is worth $10 more than the Samsung. Its new, Gen 4 and faster.

I'm not sure I'm trusting 'GEEKSQUAD' ...
#1 - About 0% Chance there is any ACTUAL refurb....
#2 - The Certification likely involves putting in a PC and see if they can write to it.
If I was using the drive for anything important...I really would not want to trust it....
Maybe some external disk I used as temporary storage....
