I bought a 2242 size m.2 SSD to use as lvm cache for an external DAS I’m working with. The drive is supposed to be 64GB, but when I pulled it up in gparted I found the below. (I created the partition to see what would happen.) If my calculations are correct, this drive is acting like a 1TB drive instead of a 64GB drive.

If my calculator is correct, a 64GB drive should be 59.6 GiB instead of 931.5 GiB.

So, would you trust this drive?

    I am just guessing: Could sector size have something to do with it?

    And no, I wouldn’t trust it.
