That ram looks ALOT like Corsair's sticks, and that m.2 labeling looks like someone clipped off the bottom of the numbers "790".... if that was intentional, then the print shop folks should be fired, like, yesterday...cause it looks really stupid, plus the pricing will need to be adjusted a tad, given the recent price crashes :D

The NM790 SSD has been available in EU for about two months, or am I missing something? The 4 TB model has poor availability, though.

I don't see the issue with the '790', looks ok to me. Do you really care about a M.2 appearance?

The thing is..... if the mfgr doesn't care about it's external appearance, I tend to wonder about how much attention are they gonna pay to the 100's of details inside the drive, like pcb quality, nand.controller interfaces, firmware bugs etc etc ?
