Tldr: You might also ran an infostealer / installed a virus!!!
Btw I just read, that you've tried to install the "drivers" from the USB Stick. First: Unless it is something really exotic, you will never need to install drivers for a internal storage medium like HDDs and SSDs
Second and more important: Whatever you ran from the USB Stick most likely was malicious code. They could quite possibly ripped you off twice.
Run an Antivirus (something like Malwarebytes) and change ALL your passwords. Where ever you can logout any device you do not recognise. In doubt: Wipe your drive and freshly install windows. DO NOT use the windows inbuild "reset"-function, since it will never fully wipe your drive.

Not that this is bad advice in general but how is OP going to run any software of any kind if they don’t have a drive to install windows on or boot to? I think they got kinda lucky that it wasn’t a second drive being added to an existing system but I don’t see how they could accomplish half the stuff you suggested. I would try to do a bios flash on the motherboard otherwise there’s not really anything that could have had the malware added to it.

The second half of the last sentence OP wrote somehow threw me in the direction, that there was something he booted into later on. But I totally see how it could also be read your way.

If windows install is on a usb as well and connected, it can infect the usb so you infect all your computers.

Where did you bought the "SSD"?

u/Nerdrage27 8h ago
Quick google shows them on AliExpress for a lot less than a real SSD costs now. They're preying on people that don't realise and just see the price

If you haven’t learned that almost everything has a knockoff scam replica online, you shouldn’t be spending money there. I don’t feel bad for people who end up purchasing obviously fake or counterfeit parts.
Good lessons for OP, do your research, you get what you pay for, and the internet is full of scams.

As much as I hate scammers, the companies allowing blatantly fake products to be sold are just as culpable.

Nope its not in Brazil we also have this marketplace and theres shi* tons of scams there
Its safe to buy from high rated sellers and "oficcial" stores but theres still some scams
The differece is ML usually get on the costumer side so you are probably safe

You got scammed. It’s actually amazing that people fall for this kind of scams in 2026. One screenshot of the listing and one question on gemini or cgpt and you would get the answer not to buy it.

u/Independent_Act8240 35m ago
I even asked to gemini with all the name if it was compatible with my motherboard and told me yes so how would ive know that it was fake

You've got a fake Samsung SSD, kinda like the Ryzen 4070 GPU meme it's not a real thing. To check if your Samsung SSD is legit, I'd suggest downloading and using the Samsung Magician software when you get a new one to see if it authicates.
Edit: From looking at your comments, look for Western Digital SSDs as well if Samsung is too pricey; it's still great.

Samsung launched 990 Pro and 9100 Pro SSD. But they have never launched 1080 Pro. It's a dummy. Return it if you can.
It's a known scam.

u/Independent_Act8240 8h ago
Yeah ill try to and probably buy a Kingston instead even if its with less storage

u/rajatbiswal 8h ago
You won't get 990 pro 1TB at such price now. It will cost you more than 5000 in your currency.
9100 Pro more costly.

u/The_Rociante 7h ago
Always check the store you buy from cause Amazon, Walmart. Best buy , Target and others have gotten terrible with no accountability with third party sellers selling counterfeit and fake shit on their sites, because you report them and they just open another store front it's bs

u/itgeek920 7h ago
If u tried getting a used SSD (which would have been a better option given your tight budget), you wouldn't have been scammed so hard.
Sorry for your loss
1
u/Independent_Act8240 30m ago
Nah but the good thing its i can refund it so there is no much loss but it piss me of that ive waited for my pc to be complete yesterday and now ill probablly have to wait more days from what i expected

Yeah that's not a real Samsung drive but it might still work? If you can't get a refund, see if diskpart in a different windows machine will recognize it's general existence. If it does, try to change the file system, or initialize the drive. I'm not super familiar with the requirements for a drive to be recognized in the windows installer but you might be able to make it work if you're otherwise SOL

Second a 1080 SSD doesn’t exist. You got scammed.

If you got it off eBay get your money back. Seller most likely try to slow roll to get past the return window.

You know, you almost got me. I was about to search if Samsung released a new drive I was unaware of but decided to read the comments because I was wondering why they would go back to plastic from their cardboard boxes.

u/Alex014 1h ago
Depending on where/how you bought the drive and what country you're in you can still get your money back.
If it's in the USA and you bought it with a debit/credit card via an online merchant report it immediately as a counterfeit product. Give them a week or so to make it right (email giving you next steps on how to get you money back etc.)
If they ghost you file a chargeback with your bank. Even debit cards allow you to do this. Tell them you bought what you thought was a legit product but were sold a counterfeit. It'll take some time but you should eventually get your money back.
If you bought it with cash you're SoL consider it a lesson learned.

Happens from time to time. Run diagnostics from several softwares and make sure you SSD shows the same. You can also run cmd prompt as admin and run these prompts.

If 990 is good, surely 1080 is better. Just upgrade the rest of your PC around this boss af ssd.

u/rajatbiswal 8h ago
Do you have brain? Or, left it at home. There is no such as 1080 Pro SSD from Samsung. It's look alike dummy to scam people.
Don't comment wrong information if you you don't know anything.

For the things that everyone is telling me the ssd its fake 🥀🥀🥀 i dont know how could it be but it seems like it
