Shoppers should note the max read and write speed is about half of that for many ~500GB SSDs in the sub $200 range.
Wow! More Woot FAILURE! This not a deal by any means. Samsung EVO drives whoop the dog shih tzu outta this thing and they aren’t even the fastest Samsung drives!
PASS!
I just got a deal on a Samsung 500GB 850 EVO for $135, so this isn’t even close to being a deal.

Yeah, but there is no substitute for the opportunity to be the second one to open the package. (You may feel free to guess along with Sheldon.) You also get a refurbished unit with a shorter warranty. Available new on Amazon with free shipping for $249.00. Although the one reviewer claimed he received a unit with scratches.
There have been much better deals offered on the “deal of the day” by the one retailer to rule them all.
This offer is a sellout. Way to go Woot!
WootFail!
A deal at half the price!
Woot, stop passing out crap when you know that this is one of the worst read/write SSD drives out and it’s a REFURB? Really? Due your due diligence on what you offer compared to the market like Amazon. The NEW, not refurb, Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-75E500B/AM) on Amazon is $182.00 and the speed, Sequential read speed 540 MB/s; Sequential write speed 520 MB/s; Random read speed 100K; Random write speed 90K. That’s twice what this lemon you are selling. PASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!
I clicked the button on Sellout.woot.com and expected about $120 for this refurbished.
Seriously this is not a deal in the least! Like everyone else is saying get a Samsung EVO drive, cheaper, better, and new.
Sellout?
SUCKERS!
