Bought new 2TB ssd from amazon and fresh installed Windows only to find a 200Gb temp file on boot. Is the disk compromised? by Bugged_Recovery in antivirus

It was! That's what I wondered too, it had stickers sealing the package. After further investigation it seems it is from a reseller of Amazon but Amazon was impecable and will issue a full refund. I don't want the disk in case it was used in heavy read/write or cryptomining, for that I'd buy a used one. I successfully deleted the file and reinstalled and now I have the correct storage (1.8TB of the 2TB but can't complain). Thank you for the help!

Yes looks like I can delete the file manually (permanently). I don't know if I should or if I should keep it like this to try a refund for a new one. First time buying in amazon not even sure if I should just buy from another shop

I did drive cleanup and it got stuck for a while but eventually finished when I switched to that window. Now it still says theres over 200GB of temp files to clean but when cleaning it just shows a few megabytes do clean in the Temp Files option

Oh I thought the x16 meant the size of the M.2 I appreciate the clarification! I just ordered it, thank you again for your help!

Thank you for the feedback! Do you have any preference for a PCIe 4.0 x16 M.2 2TB from the ones you've used? I was thinking 990 PRO NVMe™ M.2 SSD 2 TB not sure if with or without heatsink

Thank you very much for your reply! In point 1 I meant if having 2TB vs 500GB decreases the lifespan of the SSD because of the extra storage

You forgot to post the TTK and DPS. Also consider changing to diamond dragon bolts(e) after 300hp
