That's my thinking. To be fair, it could just be a mistake when they set up the listing. The title was just wrong for this product. I certainly want to notify the seller, Crucial, to the mistake. They should fix it. Until today, the item was sold out but I guess they got some more in overnight or this morning. I tend to go by the title. I expect that to be the most accurate thing because that is what searches and everything else goes by. I've seen this on Ebay before too. When I saw a discrepancy on Ebay, the title was almost always correct and other info was wrong. In this case tho, it is the title that is wrong. At least I know if I want to return it, I have someone else who thinks I should be able to as well. Given it is their mistake in the listing, I shouldn't have to pay any fees or shipping. If the title was correct, most likely Amazon wouldn't have listed it in my search results given it is the wrong size and I wouldn't have ordered it seeing it is not what I want even if Amazon messed up and listed it. I'm am certainly going to notify the seller so they can fix the title but I'm leaning toward keeping it. If it was Prime and returns were free, I'd still likely keep it. It's not like I'm getting cheated on the price. If I paid the price for a 1TB stick, I'd be returning and making noises about any fees. It's just not the 1TB I wanted. Besides, I could use two of these things, one to transfer stuff from my cell phone and my sis-n-law's phone too. I think this will do that. I did a duck search, I think exfat for the file system works. Then I could buy another enclosure and a Samsung stick to use to back up files I really don't trust USB sticks with. Currently, I have three sticks with the same info I think. Hopefully at least one will work. I'm also hoping that in the event of a fire, the m.2 stick will have a better chance of surviving the heat in my fire safe. Maybe. Open to different thoughts from others. Just seeing what my options are. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
