Didn't say it was any slower, doof! The 4Tb has always had 512Mb dram. The 1/2Tb were neutered from 1/2Gb dram.

The one I received clearly states 500GB on the outside of the box (on a sticker seemingly containing the actual model #, serial #, etc.), but there's an an overlay sticker covering up most of that first sticker, with the overlay listing UPC # 649528906472. A google search of that overlay UPC # corresponds to the 4TB model.
The overlay sticker, however, is completely covering up the model # and a good portion of the serial #, but it's only minimally covering up the 500GB capacity (which is why I can see that is says 500GB).
Other than the overlay sticker's UPC # corresponding to the 4TB model drive, there's no other indication whatsoever (on the outside retail box) that what's inside is a 4TB drive.
Instead of breaking the seal on the retail box (to see what drive is actually inside), I reached out to BB customer service with my concern. They've decided to treat it as a "wrong item received" situation and are shipping me a replacement SSD (as well as sending me a return shipping label). Guess I'll see what happens w/ the replacement.
Anyone else in the same boat?

Good call on contacting Best Buy for the discrepancy and glad you were able to get a replacement.
Yeah, it may still have a good warranty, and they may agree to send you a new or more likely a refurbished drive when / if your QLC drive dies, but your data will still be gone not to mention the PITA of having to swap it out and restore from a backup if you have one.

Microsoft's worst OS releases... Windows 8, Windows Bob, Windows 11 (which makes 98 and Vista with UAC look like gifts from the Gods)...
MS tries to force that shlt on us, so i went in and changed the Group Policy on a Win 10 Pro computer to prevent Win 11 from ever downloading. All my computers will be changed or I'll update the registry to prevent it. I think I'll gladly stay on Win 10 for another 10 years...
