A scam
I thought the yellow stuff leaked out from your thing.
It looks like a very obvious (to me at least) fake of a Samsung SSD.
Before diving further, I would not trust this drive with any of my data due to it being a fake, it probably has the cheapest controllers / storage chips out there. Mourning your data is guaranteed with this product.
Also it’s either an M.2 SATA SSD or an NVMe with less lanes. (Thanks to u/dddvvvzzz for pointing that out)
You can see the difference in keying here: [https://www.atpinc.com/upload/images/2020/04-22/793d32bfe7674ebc995893a8af3661f8.jpg](https://www.atpinc.com/upload/images/2020/04-22/793d32bfe7674ebc995893a8af3661f8.jpg) (Original article: [M.2 Interface, Key and Socket explained](https://www.atpinc.com/blog/what-is-m.2-M-B-BM-key-socket-3))
Return if possible, though it should still fit in an M.2 NVMe slot, it isn’t what your dad paid for.
Wtf is that abomination
its a sata m.2 drive, you were scammed, if you got it from ebay or amazon you can return it

Its fake.
This is how the real one looks:
Pls do not insert even if it fits, that looks like a scam and could possibly even contain a virus or worse… If possible return it
A rebadged SATA m.2 SSD.
In other words you were scammed, return it and get a refund if possible.
That’s fake sticker. You’ve got scammed
I bet you got a great deal on that 990 Pro.
Yeah, scams like this are very common. Like how many non-brand SSDs are just an SD card glued inside instead of actual NAND memory chips 🙂
I don’t know how much you paid for that “2TB NVME”, but usually if the deal is too good to be true… you know the rest.
sata, scam. where did you buy it?
An Amazon return at a guess.
it’s a RayMX RM1135 SSD demo board
A sticker on a 128gb kingston nvme with the bonus temu scent
Your dad have buy a scam Samsung 990 Pro NVME , this brand make this “Samsung SSD” look kind if like it but it’s totally a scam
>990 Pro NVMe SSD
>Looks at the connector
>SATA SSD
That a scam, return it
A Xitty Xinny Xamxung, Looks like combustible M.SATA SSD that used to exist like 10 years ago.
I have a 4tb one also from delahie, i got it for free and it actually was a 4tb WD green so im not complaining but yeah if its sata i wouldnt keep it
Can’t tell if it’s bird poop or not
Looks like a cheap IKEA table.
It’s a m.2 ssd drive using the lettering and coloring scheme used by samsung drives. It’s clearly labeled as a m2. ssd and I wouldn’t trust it with my data. If you bought this somewhere with any sort of buyer protection, I would return it and get back my money.
Lmao bro you just got a cheap sata m.2 instead of the real nvme 😂
100% a scam. Return it

Scam SSD it’s trying to mimic the Samsung SSD naming scheme plus it’s not even NvMe it’s SATA you can tell by the 2 notches at the connector.
