I ordered a new 2TB Crucial SSD from Amazon but was met with this poor drive. I chatted with Amazon and tried to make them see why this is an issue, what if this had gone to someone who doesn't know how or that you should check drives? Someone out there sent this SSD back to Amazon and Amazon resold it as new (it was empty but already formatted). Amazon was no help so should I bring this to Crucials attention that Amazon is selling used drives as new? I'm willing to bet there's some people out there using a drive like this one as their main boot drive.

Curious what you all would do? Is it even worth it to bring up to Crucial? Would you feel comfortable sending this back to Amazon? I wouldn't want to mark the drive or physically damage it and send it back, lest Amazon say I broke it.

Its also wild that someone wrote 775TB to this drive alone... .775PB!
