Inaccurate Parts description for SSD

Question

The online parts description at time of sales (bought by me via Ingram Micro) shows this device as having a Dell M.2 PCIe NVME Gen 3x4 Class 35 2230 Solid State 256GB SSD, shown here

I ordered a higher capacity drive (1GB) and have since found the the device actually has a very different type of SSD

Is there another socket that can be used on the M'board to utilise the M.2 PCIe NVME Gen 3x4 Class 35 2230.

I have eight machines to do, have purchased the SSD's and am somewhat annoyed at this error on Dells part.

The OptiPlex 7060 SFF has only one M.2 slot for NVMe storage (SSD) and one M.2 slot for Wifi card. From pictures you provided, you ordered class 35 SSD but somehow you received class 40 SSD (with model PC601), which is a better performance class.  Note that the number 2230 or 2280 in the drive description, they are just indication of the physical size, 22 mm X 30 mm, or 22 mm X 80 mm (longer in length).  If you have ordered 1 TB in capacity, and you received only a quarter capacity, 256 GB.  You must check with Ingram Micro to sort out the error.

I suspect Ingrams would throw it back to Dell being only the Disty.

I looked up the serial on Dell.com and it parts list at time of sale says the PC has a 2230 256Gb. I ordered a 1 Tb 2230, and it wasn't until I opened the case that I found it was actually a 2280 256Gb. I checked a few others and they too have the longer Hynix.

At this point, if purchasing account allows, you can source consumer client SSD and performing in house upgrade.  The 7060 SFF supports PCIe Gen 3 NVMe SSD.  The longer length size 2280 is more popular and easier to find.

Just to clarify, I can use the 2230?

Yes, just move the SSD standoff from 2280 position to 2230 position.  Be cautious not to damage the motherboard in process.
