2GB Maybe, no way you’re getting a 2TB flash drive for under 10 bucks. Also, most manufacturers do not count drive space like that, it’s in thousands, not 1024. A 256 GB flash drive will. actually be about 230 binary GB or so. Its been that way for a long long time.
I’ve been looking at 1TB flash drives, you can get a cheap unreliable one for about 30 or 40 bucks on Amazon, or you can get a good brand name one for around 50 to 60 if you wait for a deal.
I got robbed on a quick web search. Personally, I keep two seven port USB hubs daisy chained and have 2.0 thumbs plugged into several ports, and a simple three-bay USB SAN on my Linux tower. I’d been an A+ tech for twenty years (still do privately on the side) and have done desktop/LAN suport in places where we still counted things in bits and bytes. Factor out the boot sector and manufacturer partitions and run with it. Simple binary. Nobody I know has split things down to a quantum level. Meatball computer support.
