The wording of Samsung's warranty seems to support this conclusion:

"{...}during the limited warranty period, and subject to the conditions and exceptions stated in this Agreement, Samsung will, at its option, either: (1) repair or replace the Product with new or refurbished Product of equal or greater capacity and functionality; or (2) refund the then current market value of the Product at the time the warranty claim is made to Samsung if Samsung is unable to repair or replace the Product." [emphasis added]

I guess the question is what the price was when he submitted the claim.

$949

What's funny is this wording was likely designed to try and screw over the customer and backfired, because historically a used SSD has always been cheaper than the original purchase price. But in this specific market, it works in the consumer's favor.

Which is, of course, why they suddenly feel entitled to not follow their own rules.
