Fake Samsung 1080 Pro SSDs Flood Market, Performance Disappoints

Counterfeit Samsung 1080 Pro SSDs are being sold on Chinese e-commerce platforms, offering abysmal performance compared to genuine products.

Counterfeit Samsung 1080 Pro SSDs have surfaced on platforms like AliExpress, featuring misleading specs such as 15.8 GB/s speeds.
The fake SSDs, priced around $30 for a 4TB model, fail to meet even basic performance benchmarks.
Tests reveal that the counterfeit drives perform worse than USB 2.0 drives, with speeds drastically lower than Samsung's genuine 980 Pro SSDs.
Consumers are advised to purchase from certified retailers to avoid falling for such scams.
Despite being marketed with high-end specs, the SSDs use outdated PCIe 3.0 technology and lack proper Samsung branding.
