Off Brand = definitely no
Refurbished, maybe. My issue with refurbished SSDs, especially if they are on ebay, is that it could be one that's been used & abused, stress tested to the limit, even have formerly had SMART errors. And it may well be that all they did to "refurbish" it was to clear the SMART logs. Unfortunately on my data recovery forum we get guys all the time asking for advice on how to clear SMART on certain HDD/SSD models and I know it's just so they can resell as "refurbished", when in fact they are only hiding the error.
