Sort of off-topic and apologies for the commercial nature, but can you really get a 2 TB thumb drive for $17? Do they work? https://www.wish.com/search/2%20tb%

  It's a common scam to sell flash drives with modified firmware that causes it to report a larger size than the underlying flash chips provide. Usually once you write past that point, the writes will loop around or drop the data entirely. It's likely that the $17 flag drive you linked to is a scam. Beyond that, flash drives tend to have low write durability and horrible performance on large writes (because of poorly implemented garbage collection).
