Counterfeit Hardware

We're starting to get convincing counterfeit DDR5 modules, just in case the memory crisis isn't bad enough…

Convincing counterfeit DDR5 memory modules are beginning to appear, exacerbating existing supply and price issues. These fake modules often use bare circuit boards instead of actual memory chips and can be difficult to distinguish from genuine products, especially in laptop form factors. Buyers are advised to purchase from trusted sellers and be wary of prices that seem too good to be true.
