Could This 990 Pro SSD From Amazon Be Fake?

I bought a 990 Pro SSD for £300, which seems to be the usual price. However, upon inspecting the SSD, I noticed that some digits on the sticker are hard to read, particularly the '8' in the PSID and SN. Is this just a printing defect from the factory, or could it indicate that the SSD is fake?

I know this isn’t your main question, but can you tell us who the seller was? That might be helpful in figuring this out.

You should definitely run the Samsung Magician tool; it should detect the SSD without any issues.

Just a heads up, the 4's and A versions usually don't have a hole in the center; they are filled in instead. It could be a sign to look out for.

This looks like a real drive to me. If you're still unsure, checking with the Samsung Magician tool should clear things up.
