[SOLVED] Refurbished Corsair MP510 480GB PCIe NVMe

[LMyers]

Looking at upgrading my storage on my computer as my 120gb ssd which has my OS on is very close to being full.

Found a Refurbished 480gb m.2 ssd for £37.99 - Is this worth it or do i just buy new?
I currently have a MSI Z270 M5 motherboard, Will this ssd work and will it work for future mother board upgrades that i plan on doing?


Also whats a good 2tb storage to buy?

"refurbished" by who?

The actual manufacturer, maybe. (but probably not)
"Seller refurbished', no way.


Have a link to this? £37.99 is quite low for a 480GB NVMe drive.

It still doesn't feel right.
That's less than 1/2 price from new. Yeah, refurb...but its generally not THAT much cheaper.

Think i should avoid it then?

Tough call.
It does have a 1 yr warranty. And it is only risking £38. And it is from an actual company.

It appears to be sold & warrantied by Scan so I'd jump on it if that's true.
