Although the title pretty clearly says 1TB, right below that, under  
Product Details, it also pretty clearly says 480GB.  My first reaction  
to that was to look for somewhere to select between different available  
sizes, but I don't see that.  I do see some of the descriptions include  
"...and capacities up to 2TB" which does imply more than one size  
available for the model.  If you look at the comparison section lower  
down on the page, the five shown are 480 GB, 1000 GB, 1 TB, 1024 GB,  
and 1 TB.  I wonder why they compare it with 4 other 1TB devices, if  
they didn't also somehow think it was 1TB.  I would definitely call  
this misleading marketing, and would try to return it.  I also note it  
is sold by a third party, not by Amazon, and I have no idea how that  
might affect your chances of them taking it back, although if  
necessary, Amazon might also have something to say about it.
