I have my doubts that the Greek Squad could fix a faulty SSD.
When this model was first released, the firmware was killing the hard drive from within. Samsung did fix the problem with new firmware BUT BUT BUT....
The damage done to the longevity of the hard drive could NEVER be fixed. It was showing 10% of drive life was used within a month of usage before the fixed firmware was available... many months later.
For this specific model... I recommend new.

Edit: my original post had a typo that said "Greek Squad". I apologize if I offended any Greeks.
