Install package f3 and run the f3probe. Probable a fake flash. Bought an 8g flash that was too cheap. It comes up originally as 4 2T usb devices, but the f3probe calls it as fake, and reports it as 4 about 64G devices so it again looks nice, but is useless fake device. Facebook SCAMs that they keep pushing and getting bigger and bigger.
