An SSD was so well faked that it fooled Samsung software

Samsung is a brand that stands out in several categories. Apart from cell phones, televisions, home appliances and more, the South Korean giant is known for its storage units.

That’s why the solid state drive (SSD). Samsung 980 Pro is one of the most popular among enthusiastic users for its reliability and speed.

These products are not free from counterfeits, including some that can cheat the software of the same Samsung.

High-level counterfeiting

A Chinese user reported on the forums of Baidu its history.

After finding the product on a second-hand market and at a price that did not seem unreasonable, the user performed performance tests that provided speeds below those specified by Samsung.

By removing the sticker, he was able to notice that the SSD was not using the drivers specific to models of Samsung.

The funny thing is that Samsung Magiciana software of the company’s own Samsung, did not recognize the SSD as a fake. Definitely a very well done counterfeit.
