Fake Samsung 980Pro SSDs Are Making Their Rounds In China
Once the sticker was removed, though, the scam and forgery on the fake Samsung 980 Pro was plain to see. For context, Samsung produces and uses its own SSD controllers and NAND chips. In this case, the authentic version of the 980 Pro uses an 8nm Elpis controller with DRAM, while the NAND chips are 128-layer TLC 3D VNAND.In the case of the fake Samsung 980 Pro, the Chinese user showed that it was fitted with a 12nm process node from TSMC, and featured a DRAM-less design.
As for how much these fake Samsung 980 Pro SSDs were being sold for, the unscrupulous sellers were charging US$127.77 for 2TB, which is a red flag in and of itself. When we purchased our 980 Pro, we had to fork out RM890, and that was for the 1TB variant. Then there are the speeds of the fake Samsung 980 Pro. The genuine component has average sequential read and write speeds of 7000MB/s and 5000MB/s, respectively. The fake 980 Pro, however, had average sequential read and write speeds of 4300MB/s and 4000MB/s. While that’s not inherently slow, that’s still obviously not the kind of speeds you’d expect from the real SSD.
