As long as there are no cracks in the IC’s or PCB/Traces it “should” work fine in theory. That said, return it ASAP.

It’s how they stretch the storage space to increase volume without affecting cost of production. How they protect the bottom line.

That isn’t new. Someone has used it and installed it incorrectly without the standoff causing it to end up damaged.

I want to see the box it came in.

I think someone couldn’t figure out how to open it’s packaging!

Yess please dont discriminate towards m.2s with scoliosis

It’s for aerodynamics

Looks like it’s been used and who ever used it didn’t put the riser screw under the the m.2.

It’s not supposed to have a bend. You should return it. I hope they give you a new one.
kind-Mapel
No return it

Fans blowing over it will create lift and make your whole PC a little lighter.
NotJustBibbit
It would maybe work but wouldn’t last as long. Yeah get it returned
FriendlyRussian666
Looks like someone already installed this “new” m.2 and didn’t use a standoff, screwing it all the way to the mobo, which caused it to bend like that. I’ve seen it happen before

No, they are usually the other way because people don’t use standoffs
But I’d return it
If you can’t it might still work

The bend is for runaway data that is moving too fast.

No, its not. You should return it.
Nope, return it.
That doesnt look good and you need to RMA it, get a refund from the place you got it from that is unacceptable to get an M.2 drive that way….
Thanks guys!
Had no idea PCBs could get peyronies disease.

No it’s not. Definitely ask for a new one.
I want to see the package
He’s just happy to see you.

Kind of the same concept as the above image.
Lol. No.
You’re joking right? Of course it’s not meant to bend. Is it bent on the box??
2D NAND is old school. 3D NAND is the new deal
Stop flexing! /s
Return it.
Only if you’re Beckham
RMA immediately
That’s what she… Umm asked!

Don’t judge it because it’s not “straight”
