These are very good cables, for both charging and data transfer (at 480Mbps). The braided cable feels rugged and of good quality. They are good value.

The drive arrived in the original box. As expected, I needed to initialize it and then format it. Using Samsung Magician I found its health listed as "Good", and that it had a record of 4TB written to it (presumably to wipe it of prior data). I ran speed tests and it performed as a brand new drive. I have so far downloaded almost 1TB of games to it, with no issue. It was good value and I would buy it again.

I ordered two of these drives. The first arrived in the original box with two cables. The drive looked to be physically in excellent condition. When I plugged it in, it was not immediately set up in my Windows 11 computer. I went into Disk Management and found it had not been initialized. I initialized it and formatted it to NTFS. The computer then saw it and I was able to run speed tests. The results were slow. I tried the other cable and also got slow speeds, but different from the first cable. I then tried a cable of my own, and finally obtained the expected speed of 1000 MB/s. I then used the free software Samsung Magician on the drive. It showed the firmware of the drive was old, and allowed me to update to the most current firmware. I then used Samsung Magician to run a full diagnostic scan of the drive. It took 3 hours, but reported that zero sectors were bad. I have good confidence in this drive, and would have given this product five stars but for my experience with the second drive.
The second drive arrived a couple days later, from a different location in the US. It was not in the original box, but was nicely packaged. Like the first, it looked to be in excellent physical condition. It also came with two cables. I tried each of them on the previous drive, and only one gave the expected results. So of the four cables I received, only one worked properly. Like the first drive, this drive needed to be initialized. I did so, but could not format it. I spent several days and finally cleared the drive, initialized it, and then did a quick format. I then used Samsung Magician to do a full diagnostic scan of the drive. The first time it ran for 15 hours and crashed after having only 60% of the drive - I suspect it overheated. At that point it showed that 4% of the sectors were bad. I restarted the scan the next day. It completed and showed that 7% of the sectors had been bad. I believe that the bad sectors would now be avoided by the system after having been identified. I ran speed tests, and got the expected results. However, after this experience I will no longer purchase Certified Refurbished portable SSDs and am unable to recommend them to any one.

You will have to do it after the purchase, and the system has been set up. It is very easy to do via the Windows Store (for which you must have an account). It will cost about $100.

does the motherboard come with an extra cable it I want to install another SATA compatible Drive or does it have to be purchased separately?

I opened up my computer to look at the cable situation, because I want to add an additional hard drive to the system. I found that the power cable to the DVD drive has a connector on it that will allow you to supply power to such a drive. I also saw that there is an open socket for one data sata cable to connect to this drive, but there is no cable provided to do this. You will have to buy the cable yourself (less than $10). Finally there is a single open bay available, and it will hold a 3.5" drive, and it is just below the dvd drive. So adding one additional SATA drive appears doable, and relatively straight forward.

Why is there no slot for a GPU? In the specifications for this product, in the expansion section, it states there is 1 PCI-E X1 slot, and a PCI-E x16 slot. What is in these slots, if I can't put a GPU in there? Is the description wrong?

I opened up my Lenovo, and see that both of these slots are open and available. However, be aware that the power supply for this machine is modest, and supplies a maximum of only 180 Watts. You need to carefully tally up the power already being used, and see if there is enough for the video card of your choice. Even a low end video card is going to use over 30 W. I think you are best advised to stick with the built in graphics.
