So can I please get some help. I have a portable CD/DVD and I made a USB with
a ISO on it. The computer does not have a cd/dvd burner but I have a portable

Looks like a scam. Probably a reprogrammed controller to falsely report
2TB of space to the system.

There are 2 kinds of random number generators:

Absolutely right. And most probably it checks a block right after writing,

`badblocks` sadly writes the same pattern on every block, AFAIK, so if
the drive just remaps new logical blocks to already used physical
ashes and perform I/O on the target drive and RAM.
I don't think it could crash the system, but the load could be
significant enough to disturb your work, so
if I was in your place I'd wait until the machine is free from any work
or load and then test the new drive.
That is my intenti

I thought you were going to hook up all the new USB SSD's to a USB hub
to a SBC, and turn it into a file server, backup server, or some such?
