I mean... it's visibly different, you don't need to look at the controllers to see the difference.

1. The colors on the sticker are wrong

2. The board itself looks different https://bayimg.com/f39847e193276a8d7279ddbcdc5617183633cf09....

Sure, the differences are easy to spot when a real one is next to it. I doubt I would be able to identify this fake by itself. (I work in ewaste recycling, and look at lots of NVME drives every day.)

And don't manufactures release different versions under the same brand name? How big can the difference be between authentic drives?
