So if your going to buy a flash drive..Buy one of the "Name brands"...PNY, Scandisk which is owned by WD, Kingston, and a few others.
And you might be ok

I bought one of those a few months back, was supposed to be a 10 TB SSD for something like $50. I should have known it was too good to be true. It was 10 TB but was slower than a floppy disk. Luckily, Amazon accepted it back and banned the seller.

Bought a 1Tb some months ago...managed to get about 40 tunes on it and it packed up....they said, try plugging it into a usb on the back...like that makes any difference at all and it didn't.
