I've had problems with the 4TB 990 Pro, but Samsung replaced it for me. I've also been burned 70-80% of the time by Amazon's "Used, like new" falsehoods, with some stuff being shipped to me that should have been thrown in the trash, yes, it really has been that bad.

I don't buy that shit anymore...

All I have to say is "good luck", you're going to need it... (PS - I have 8 or 9 Samsung SSDs and never had an issue except with the 990, yet I'll buy another.. NEW).
What problems did you encounter on the drive? Random crashing? Or did the OS tell you?

good deal. MBPC has the non-heatsink version stocked right now for $5 less... the heatsink on these is extremely difficult to remove, FYI for all who are installing on motherboards that already have heatsinks built in.

If not, that's partly on you.

For anybody who got a "used like new" for the extra discount, please please PLEASE record your unboxing! There is a good chance that you will be the victim of return fraud and receive a fake, the wrong size, or even the wrong product (64GB NGFF).

There's no harm in protecting yourself.

You can use 91% isopropyl alcohol and dental floss to get it off.

But I'd recommend keeping it unless you're trying to upgrade to an active cooling system.

A majority of those built in motherboard heatsinks actually test worse, because they trap heat under the drive.

Wouldn't they have to do a sticker swap in order to accomplish this?

The last drive I ordered had a QR code on the back sticker with a window in the box so you can scan it. And those stickers are very hard to remove without damaging them.

Not saying it's impossible, especially after seeing the whole "googly eye" theft ring that happened with Nintendo Switch games, but it might be easier to just buy a 1TB and swap it. Most people wouldn't notice until they boot into Windows and 3TB is missing.

I got one of these today. Samsung Magician (official SSD utility) showed it had 5 TBW, 11 power cycles and 100 power on hours with 9 unsafe shutdowns under the S.M.A.R.T. info log. I ran a benchmark and it initially failed and completely disconnected the drive from my system. After reboot it showed back up and has since completed 3 benchmarks and a few diagnostic scans with no apparent errors. Cautiously optimistic.

I brought one yesterday. Mine came in today with the package box torn apart and the nvme was missing.
If you were able to score one, you got a good deal on this.

i buy a farkload of amazon resale both for home and my office. i've had an issue with maybe 5% of my purchases. maybe its a locale thing idk but i have very few issues. Not saying zero, and maybe one or two really egregious ones, but overall it has just been an easy way to save money. also they are very lax on resale returns because they know its a gamble. the times i have had issues returns have been super easy.

Would it be worth getting the 2tb used for $100 or the 990 evo plus used 2tb for $84?

I recently bought a couple of those used 4tb Samsung pro drives on eBay. Specifically the heatsink one is known to have issues with Linux which is fixable using some boot switches. Otherwise, I'm very happy with getting lightly used drives for that sort of price.

Did you update the firmware?

Can someone please help me with what steps and sequence to perform checks on this drive?
I will add this as a secondary drive in my Mini PC (Win11Pro)

I had noticed there was a new firmware the other day (I have another one of these I bought new a while ago) but now it went back to saying I'm on the latest firmware within Samsung Magician. Firmware 4B2QJXD7 is on both drives. Samsung's site does list a new one 6B2QJXD7 that I swear was shown in Samsung Magician but now is no longer being mentioned. I found a reddit thread [reddit.com] that seems to confirm this. Kinda weird. You can still try and download the update manually but I might wait and see if it appears again in Samsung Magician.
