I've noticed some cheap 2TB USB sticks prominently list 2TB as the 
model, but then they don't specify the actual size anywhere. Deceptive 
marketing.

It seems with USB sticks (and most flash memory devices), once you reach 
some vaguely defined threshold of cheapness, you simply don't get 
anywhere near the advertised capacity.
