I've heard of USB devices having their firmware rewritten to show that the drives are bigger than what their actual capacity is, but can this happen to a mSATA SSD? The device is an unmarked "Wave" SSD, but I don't want to install it unless I know that its capacity is indeed 256GB

If you can re-write firmware, then yes you can report anything you want. The only way to verify the capacity is to write data to the entire drive, read it back, and verify that the data returned match the data written.
