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.

Did you check dmesg for error messages associated with it?
