Misrepresentation

As, I suspected, they are very "meh" about it. The company has changed its webpage to read 240GB in all places where SSD size is mentioned, but it still lists the drive type as NVMe, not the lesser SATA III type.
However, they are not interested in replacing the SSD.

I will ask them specifically why they cannot provide the specification listed on their webpage.

To be honest, if they're being difficult, there's little point in asking why they can't; if you get a response, it'll effectively read "can't be bothered".

But their attituse so far, suggests returning it now will save any complications if it goes wrong within the warranty period - a sod off attitude doesn't bode well for warranty repairs.

What CPU do you have. I’m wondering if you have enough cores to ingest the data your WD green can serve anyway

The cores aren't an issue here. A PCie and an SSD drive will load the operating system faster that an standard hard drive, and the PCIe is obviously the quickest of all; the number of cores won't come into operation until the programs are running.

But at the end of it, Securespark was offered a PCIe drive, received an SSD, and then got treated like dirt, so even if the cores couldn't keep up with drive, he still shouldn't be treated with contempt.
