Download CrystalDiskInfo and post a screenshot of the info page for the Samsung SSD.

I'm quite certain it's fake though, because Samsung SSD serial numbers are in a different format and the firmware for newly manufactured 870 EVOs is SVT02B6Q, which doesn't match the firmware version in your screenshots.

I'll get home tomorrow and compare with my 870 EVO, but meanwhile can you post pictures of the drive itself (including the sticker on the drive), and the box, with all the stickers including the one with the barcode that shows the manufacturing date?

I have seen all unboxing videos this SSD is pretty convincing looks real, i was thinking of going to the shopwala and plead my case even though the serial number dont match on box, on SSD and the one shown on Crsytal Disk Info and Samsung Magician all three are different i mean i have seen all the fake on internet they look fake and cheap but the one i have looks real health and benchmark(i have old PC with SATA 2 so they dont go 560 and 530) are good i dont know what to do i am confused.

That's a pretty convincing looking fake. The S/N on the back of the drive is in the same format as an actual 870EVO, but if the SMART data doesn't actually match that, then it's a huge red flag.

Also noticed a funny typo on the bottom of the sticker on the back of your drive, it says samsung.con instead of .com

Good to hear that you got it replaced though.

I'm no expert on data recovery, but trying to recover deleted files on an SSD is much harder compared to an HDD.

There are paid recovery softwares out there that you can try, but no guarantees that they will actually work.

AS your SSD is new i am assuming you formatted the old HDD, if its HDD you have a chance, don't use that drive and try running some data recovery software like easues data recovery.

If that partition was an ssd partition i guess you are out of luck then

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
