The SSD controller comes from TSMC's 12nm process node and features a DRAM-less design. The SSD utilizes the Maxio MAP1602A PCIe 4.0 SSD controller, the same one that powers the Acer Predator GM7. Once the sticker was removed from the fake drive, it had all the signs of a counterfeit SSD. When a consumer registers his Samsung SSD, the Samsung Magician software will put the "Genuine" label to the right of the drive's serial number to show that it's a real Samsung SSD.
In the case of a fake drive, the software will refuse to manage it. The software always validates whether a drive is fake or not. Samsung’s Magician Software confirms that it's a counterfeit drive.
The phony drive had everything that suggested that it was legit: the Samsung 980 Pro 2TB sticker and the firmware, which later turned out to be fake. One Chinese user from the Baidu Tieba (opens in new tab) (via Harukaze5719 (opens in new tab)) forums recently encountered an imitation posing as the Samsung 980 Pro.
