Howdy,
I ordered a m.2 stick and a enclosure as I posted on another thread.
I
want some people to look at this and see if I should return it. The
title says 1TB but I got a 480GB stick. If I look down at the smaller
print, it says 480GB. Thing is, I went by the title. I wanted a 1TB
m.2 nvme stick and the title gave me the info to know it would fit and
was the size I wanted. I might add, I searched Amazon for a 1tb
stick,
not a 480GB stick. I wouldn't expect a wrong item to show up so close
to the top so Amazon was confused too. Here is a link.

I was really wanting a 1TB stick. Would I be wrong to want to return
this given the title is so misleading as to the size? Price wise, it
isn't a bad deal for the size. Given some info posted by someone in
the
other thread, I'll likely replace this with a Samsung and just hang on
to it for a backup in case I need one later or something. Part of me
says keep it, order what I really want, the Samsung, and keep this
for a
backup since the price for what I got is reasonable. After all, I
didn't pay the 1TB price. Other part of me says this is misleading
and
not what I wanted. Returning is a hassle and could even cost me a fee
tho. It isn't a Prime deal.
Thoughts? What would you do? The 480GB is likely big enough for
now.

Although the title pretty clearly says 1TB, right below that, under
Product Details, it also pretty clearly says 480GB. My first reaction
to that was to look for somewhere to select between different available
sizes, but I don't see that. I do see some of the descriptions include
"...and capacities up to 2TB" which does imply more than one size
available for the model. If you look at the comparison section lower
down on the page, the five shown are 480 GB, 1000 GB, 1 TB, 1024 GB,
and 1 TB. I wonder why they compare it with 4 other 1TB devices, if
they didn't also somehow think it was 1TB. I would definitely call
this misleading marketing, and would try to return it. I also note it
is sold by a third party, not by Amazon, and I have no idea how that
might affect your chances of them taking it back, although if
necessary, Amazon might also have something to say about it.
