Is one of my new SSD's DOA?

So I bought 2 HP S600 2.5" 120GB SATA III 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drives and installed windows 10 on one of them with no issues. Come time to install windows 10 on the second drive I noticed it formatted to 16mb. I reformatted and again, 16mb. I try to install windows 10 on it and in the drop down list it is listed as a drive named "MRVL TSATA PART0 ATA Device" with 16mb of storage. I get an error saying there is not enough space to install windows.

The first drive I formatted was named correctly (HP SSD 2600 120GB ATA Device when i check it in device manager) and shows the appropriate memory (120GB). Is my second drive DOA? I never received a DOA product and this is my first time purchasing a SSD. I would hate to return it if it is not in fact DOA.

"MRVL TSATA PART0 ATA Device" is an indication that the SSD has a "firmware" fault or possibly bad NAND flash. Storage devices often report a generic model name or minimal capacity (16MB) in such cases. "MRVL" would be the name of the manufacturer of the flash controller IC (Marvell).

So yes, it's DOA.
