Also, these aren't really refurbished, they're just returns. In my case, mine was barely used with less than 200gb written.
Pass up this terrible deal.
Couldn't be happier with my purchase. I must have gotten extremely lucky with my purchase because it seems like it was a straight return. CrystalDiskInfo shows it only ran for 8 hours prior and it is still at 100% health. Registered the serial with Samsung and I have a 60 month (5 years) warranty.
If you get bad one, just return it...

Horrible, weak and a very short warranty.....ONLY 90 DAYS.Pass up this terrible deal.
The 90 days is from BestBuy. I registered the drive on my Samsung account and it has a 60 month warranty for parts and labor. Photo attached:
Edit: The warranty policy you linked from the comment also states,
"In the event that a valid proof of purchase is not available, the limited warranty period will be determined by the date of manufacture."
So I would just warranty it without a receipt should anyone have an issue with the drive in the future just to avoid any possible issues.
I would be careful assuming it has the full warranty, but likely YMMV. If you need to get it serviced, they will likely request the invoice which will be labeled Geek Squad refurbished. A quote from Samsung support I found on another thread: "After reviewing the Bill of Sale provided for this unit, we noticed that the drive was purchased refurbished. Samsung's warranty only applies to the Purchaser of the Product in its original sealed packaging. Since the unit is listed as certified refurbished, that indicates the drive had already been purchased and the original sealed packaging was opened by someone else first. As a result, your warranty claim has been denied, I apologize for the inconvenience. You can read more about our warranty policy here: https://semiconductor.samsung.com.../warranty/ Thank you for contacting Samsung, and have a great day!"
I contacted Samsung warranty and they specifically stated that they would warranty the drive without a receipt based on the drives serial number manufactured date instead of the purchase date. They're quick to answer so I would recommend anyone to call themselves to verify this to be true.
