I bought the drive from Amazon and everything looks very genuine.

/dev/nvme0n1 S7DSNJ0X910743Z Samsung SSD 990 PRO with
Heatsink 4TB 1 1.19 TB / 4.00 TB 512 B + 0 B

The firmware seems to be the latest version: https://

I'm giving exfat a shot and so far I'm impressed with 160 MB/s average
transfer rate (HDD -> NVMe).
That's significantly faster than before.
Partially because I'm using "rsync -avh --no-perms --no-group --no-
owner ..." this time.
I suggest that you unmount any filesystems on the SSD and then fill the
SSD with random bytes using dd(1). Something like:
# time dd if=/dev/randome of=/dev/nvme0n1 bs=1m status=progress
Alternatively, fill the drive using a PRNG so that you can read the
stream back and validate it.
Please post the complete console session -- prompt(s), command(s)
issued, and output displayed.
