> But there is a big flaw I see: 8gb. You're carting around an 8gb flash drive these days??

What is the problem? I have promotional flash drives from 1 Gb up to 8 Gb, that I use to store music for my car, or to carry pdfs to print in shared printers. I don't care if they break or get lost. I know people that carry similar promotional items with similar capacities. What is suspicious about 8 Gb drives? Maybe the lack of external branding, like "SanDisk" or "Walmart"?

I found a 8GB USB drive in my pocket after doing the washing the other day (RIP).

I'd been using it to boot the debian installer from.

You should check to see if it still works. My favorite thumb drive went through the washing machine several times and still works.

Most drives are bigger. I have some around that size--but they're old.
