I came across a counterfeit Samsung 990 Pro SSD for just $50. I'm curious if it's worth buying this fake option, or should I consider getting a genuine SSD with less capacity instead?

It’s surprising this is even a question! Buying a fake SSD likely means you’re getting something that could fail at any moment and you'll risk losing your data. Just spend a little more on a genuine SSD; it’ll save you headaches in the long run.
Honestly, the fact that it's fake is a huge red flag. It’s not just a low-quality product; it might not even work at all. If your goal is to have a functioning SSD, I'd recommend steering clear of anything counterfeit. You’re better off with a reputable brand, even if it means buying something lower capacity.

True, I just thought it could be a cheap way to get more space. But losing data sucks!
