I am going to guess it works "better" with Exfat because the firmware default real blocks line up with what exfat defaults using for the first 16-20GB. All to keep up the scam going a bit longer. >From a vendor I trust the cheapest closeout on a flash device is $80/TB(256g-$20). And that vendor does not have any flash devices >512GB. Other vendors have ones greater than 512 but the price is steep. If your sata ports don't work get a usb to sata disk enclosure. They can be had for <$15 and then figure out what kind of disk you want to put in it. I have several Vantec metal enclosures and have run a bunch of different 2.5" spinning and ssd drives. My major use for them is to convert spinning disk laptops to SSDs, but they also have my backup offline in firesafe copy of data.
