My 2tb ssd is not showing in steam deck

[Hypothetical Parallel]

Last year, when I bought my Steam Deck, I upgraded ssd to 2tb. I recall, at the time, confirming it had worked. Today I went to download a demo on the deck and it said I only had 200gb free, I was sure I hadn't installed that much. So I checked settings and storage and it says my internal drive has a max capacity of 464.1gb. What happened? How do I fix this without losing my games? If I reformat will I lose my save files?

That doesn't sound normal at all, what the brand and model of this SSD you bought?

Please note there has been scams with SSD where scammers spoof the capactly reading, and label, but knowing writing on the chip, or if by rare chance scammer slip and forgot to spoof model that might point you what SSD really might be.

In order for storage to be smaller than what it is means the petition was made small, and didn't include the rest as it own petition, or not label it own letter drive that a possible way mistake could help, but afaik steam os doesn't change petition to smaller size, or cut portions of said storage.
