Those are USB 2, then. That'll be quite slow for moving iso's onto and booting from.
Not to mention for moving the files of a steam game.
But yeah, the old solid state storage NAND in them is probably "built different", literally.
Sounds to me like you need an external ssd and not a usb drive. I recommend Asus TUF Gaming A1 nvme enclosure (~50€ where I live) and an ssd of your choice.
That's not gonna work with my keys.

My 32gb version was recently upgraded and it never gave out. They'll take a pretty serious beating.
What? I don't understand.
USB mass storage drivers are an OS issue, one I don't even think about as a linux user.
If you mean firmware, that's gonna be tricky to update on drives that are straight up dead and no longer even detected.
I thought it might be a joke, but I couldn't spot how.
They do still sell the design ("Cruzer"). At least, the outer casing part. Though I suppose they could be totally shit and cheap on the inside 🤷🏻♂️
