Samsung Warns Users About Fake 990 Pro SSDs
Samsung stated:
Samsung takes such reports about counterfeit memory products very seriously. We are taking continuous action against the distribution of such counterfeits.
We recommend purchasing Samsung storage media exclusively through the Samsung Online Shop* or authorized retailers. Consumers can also use the Samsung Magician software* to verify that their product is genuine.
We are grateful for information from the market and consumers to quickly identify and investigate any cases. Users and partners can contact Samsung Product Service* if they suspect a problem.
To check if a Samsung 990 Pro SSD is real, users can use the Samsung Magician software, which allows them to verify the authenticity of the product quickly and easily.
As a general recommendation, it is best to avoid deals that seem too good to be true, especially in the current storage market. If you buy from stores that allow third-party sellers, it is also important to check seller ratings before making a purchase.
