Strange. On both my old 32 GB USB flash sticks, they worked until
booting up and installing until stopped. And then, my flash drives
aren't usable anymore. SP brand (years old) can't be formatted fully on
any computer I have here in Windows (XP Pro SP3 and 10 EE), Linux
(Debian Jessie stable), and Mac OS X (v10.8.5/Mountain Lion &
v10.12/Sierra). Patriot (newer) brand flash drive won't even let me see
its drive even though OSes detect a connection. Did the new MBP or
Sierra/OS X v10.12 hose them? :(
