I had bought 2tb TeamGroup M.2 ssd from Amazon, but my computer shows that it is a 128gb Patriot M.2 ssd.
I have 1tb TeamGroup M.2 ssd that I had bought in the past and shows up as that on my computer. Did I install this new M.2 wrong or was I sent the wrong item with a different label on it?
I'm fairly new to pc and just wanted to make sure before I requested a refund.
Thank you!

Try formatting the drive.
Does the label on the drive look crumpled or disturbed in any way? It looks like someone scammed Amazon by swapping the labels and sending in their old junk drive as a return.
It’s hard to tell from under the plastic, but it looks uneven.
Label looks tampered with, someone most likely bought it, swapped the label on the drive and returned it and then Amazon sold it again because they thought it was fine.
Request a refund.
Buying hardware from Amazon is becoming trash because of this
Yeah, I only shop pc parts locally cause this happens so often 🙁
judging from the weird unknown brand I’d go as far as to say you were scammed.
This is going to keep happening as long as people keep buying hardware off of Amazon.
There should be a PSA pinned in this subreddit about this sort of thing.
Or you could unformat/recover data from the drive and get free steam account win win
wtf. you got scammed. that’s a fake disk.
Thats why you dont buy hardware on amazon
That is not a mistake. It’s a classic Amazon scammer selling fake USB sticks. However this one apparently didn’t even bother to make the flash drive show 2TB.
I stopped buying from Amazon when I found out they sold fake products like NGK Sparkplugs & M18 batteries, and they sold used stuff as new; when I bought a milwaukee tool & had like 3 shipping labels on the original box…
was it sold and shipped directly from amazon or 3rd party seller?
Amazon has gone to shit. I ordered a 2tb m.2 because it was on sale and they sent me a refurbished one.
This happened to me once. I bought a 1440p monitor and the box was correct but the actually monitor inside was 1080p. It was also missing the power cable. Ended up returning it with no issues and bought a different one from Best Buy.
Which mod did this?
The number of people on this sub who seem to think that buying ON Amazon and buying FROM Amazon are the same thing astounds me.
I just ordered a *new* wifi router, They sent me an open box used. Started the return process immediately. The automated call assistant tried to tell me my only option was for me to mail it back, wait for approval, then they would send me a refund. Started yelling unacceptable! customer service! It ignored me for a bit, sorry I didnt hear your answer, then finally said ok, I will connect you.
It was obvious this was open/used. Box sealed with clear packing tape, no wrapping and the power cord was wadded up and just stuffed in the box.
I explained this to the CSR, she put me on hold, then came back with 3 options, the previous option, keep it and get a partial refund and the winner, We will process the order for a new one and send the used one back after the new arrived. It was already in my order queue before the call was over.
No way someone did npt know this was a used item originally sent. If you let them, they will do whatever they want
Somebody returned a crap SSD in place of the actual one, getting a 2TB for free. People suck
Scammed
Is scamming Amazon some kind of hobby up there in the US?
Wellllllllllll
See if there is unused partition.
I stopped buying memory stuff off Amazon after I got 4 empty ssd’s from different sellers.
Literally cases with weights in them.
There are no mistakes. Just happy accidents
