So the USB 2.0 stick is some no-name, unlabelled and super cheap one, I
think we bought a pack of it, just for boot-strapping machines. The USB
ID of "abcd:1234" kind of gives away that this is bogus AF.
The USB 3.0 stick is a PNY 32GB one, the USB ID is:
1f75:0917 Innostor Technology Corporation IS917 Mass storage

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Andre
