Kingston's USB drives are problematic.

We need the output of "usvbdevs -v". In particular, your DataTraveler
might work not because it is "good" but because someone has fixed the
problem already. E.g. this one:

port 5 addr 3: high speed, power 100 mA, config 1, DT 101 II(0x1625), 
Kingston(0x0951), rev 1.00

has specific hack.
