Fake Samsung 1080 Pro SSDs show up on Aliexpress, and the benchmark results are hilarious

Fake Samsung 1080 Pro 4TB SSD


PCIe Gen 5 SSDs are now widely available. There are numerous examples of speedy Gen 5 x4 drives including Teamgroup Z540 And Nextorage X Series. But one of the names missing the Gen 5 x4 wave is Samsung. We’re yet to see a true replacement for the Samsung 990 Pro. Or have we?

The answer to that is a big no, even though listings for a so-called Samsung 1080 Pro has shown up at AliExpress. Sadly, this is not some pre-release early listing, these drives are total fakes. The first red flags are the ridiculously low prices. AU$48.73 (under $29 USD) for a high performance 4TB SSD should be enough to prevent anyone from falling for this scam.
