These are a great upgrade for older computers that only have SATA, not m.2.
You can get free software download from Samsung's website. Magician Software will let you clone from the old drive to your replacement refurbished 870. Magician Software also provides firmware updates for the Samsung drives. Very stable, useful drives at a great price point for those on a budget but want a quality name brand drive.

I wanted to get ssd, but I read that maybe nvme drives may be more reliable. 2TB for $100 after certificate. Not bad. I can wait for 4TB $130.

I'm assuming people want NVMe drives, since they have much better performance. Here is $55 for 1TB.

Keep in mind, the original version of the 870 EVO had serious reliability issues. Make sure the firmware is up to date. On the plus side, it's basically the best performing consumer SATA drive, and massively more capable than all the cheap junk SATA drives you see these days.

I purchased one of these from Best Buy. It only lasted me 2 or 3 years. It was a 1TB. I read some where that a lot of these are returns that people didn't know how to install. I didn't get the same luck I guess.

Drive makers have mostly moved on, so yes, I feel like on average an NVME drive is more reliable in 2025. 870 evo is a hold out to when SSD was made better, as reliable as anything else with a different formfactor. NVME is faster, granted you have a computer that can use them. Most people buying a SATA SSD can't install an NVME M2 drive so it's less of a choice than a necessity with older computers.

FWIW, the one I bought one of these (2TB) refurbished from Bestbuy a couple of months ago had a manufacture date of December '24, long past the past firmware issue. Still good to check but I'd expect these to be relatively recent and way past that problem period. Agree on all points, MWink knows their drives.


Quote from GreenSparrow1991 :

I ordered a 2TB drive, BestBuy refurb about two months ago. It was manufactured in December of 2024, had been booted three times (my turning it on being the third time), and had transferred maybe 250GB of data during those two other boots (I don't recall the exact number transferred or the powered on hours). It was effectively a brand new drive. Can't promise that they are all that low use but I'm two for two so far (also bought a 500GB drive last year for a different project).

My understanding is that most of these are GeekSquad techs backing up someone's data and then transferring it back to the customer's computer. The numbers I've seen match this theory but I have no inside knowledge. Getting 2-3 years out of it makes me think there was nothing inherently wrong with the drive being used but rather some underlying problem that would have popped up regardless... maybe one of the bad drives/firmware that MWink mentioned above.
Quote from mja28 :

Presumably BestBuy as these are used drives. I don't believe they are refurbished in any meaningful sense, just used once or twice and then wiped/verified before reselling. Obviously they can't sell them as new, at that point. I didn't try to register mine but even "refurbished" it's only 6-7 months old.
