Hey all, long time lurker, first time poster.

I noticed CGBSolutions have a Refurbished/Factory Sealed 256GB Samsung PM981 256GB M.2 NVMe drive for sale at $59.

This seems like a bargain to me considering the recent price hike of computer components and especially NVMe drives.

If you're building a PC to get you through Covid19 on a budget then I think this would be a pretty good choice - alternatively you could drop one into a portable M.2 drive chassis.

  Actually, you need a NVMe compatible enclosure for it to work. Standard M.2. enclosures don't work unfortunately

  Site seems very strange. Product page is just the storage. I wonder if they have an ABN.

  Looks like an awesome deal but without knowing how many cycles or how long it has be used. There are a few things I wouldn’t buy second hand, ssd is one of them … data is too important.

    I had no issues with the 128gig Intel SSDs 5 or 6 or 7 years ago whenever it was. These would be good for games etc.

    You not going to use that to store yours most important moments in your life. Also if is that important you will back-up that. For who just play games if the storage dies at this price point doesn't matter much.

  How to refurbish an SSD? Get a new control chip? Get the ram chips replaced? or just put it into a box and stick a note 'refurbished'?

    It’s probably just used second hand goods that he is selling as refurbished as it sounds better.

      The few times I've purchased refurbished SSD's, they showed as with 0 GB/TB host writes, 0 hours power on time.

      If this is not the case, then declare the usage / host writes

    It really should be illegal to sell something as “refurbished” without stating what has actually been done in the refurbishment process.

    A quick spray with compressed air and she’s good as new ;)
