Mp600 1tb m.2 showing as a Samsung 970 eco?

Hello all, today I was building a new system, the one in my profile. And upon installing my corsair mp600 1tb drive, I notice something really strange.In the windows installation process, the drive was coming up as only a 500 GB drive. After installing windows to it, and it being the only drive in the system, windows is registering it as a Samsung 970 Evo 500 GB. I also went into the bios to confirm this, and the bios is also registering it as a Samsung drive. It’s brand new and I’m not sure why it’s doing this, as it’s the only drive installed in the system. And I’ve lost half of my capacity, and performance? I’m not sure. Has anyone else had this problem?

Where'd you purchase the drive from?

It sounds like you may have been sent the wrong drive. Could you post a picture of the SSD itself?

 

If you're within your return window still, I'd suggest returning the drive to the retailer you purchased from if possible.
