This PNY model is the first 512 GB model I've seen from a brand I trust.

I generally have been getting the 256 GB S75 USB 3.0 Lexar and had been hoping for them to make a 512 GB model. That's why I generally chose Lexar because every single Lexar flash drive bar 1 I threw at Reflect would be accepted. I got a 128 GB SanDisk Cruzer USB 3.0, I think it was, earlier in the year and Reflect wouldn't accept it for writing the Rescue Media to. Yes, I don't like SanDisk flash drives because I don't think I ever got one to be recognized by Reflect as a possible candidate for making Rescue Media with. Hopefully you get your answer, but if you don't and you don't want to roll the dice, if you can live with "just" 256GB flash drives, those two SanDisk models I mentioned should serve you well. Still, $120 for 512GB of storage with high-ish write speeds is a great deal. It's physically quite a bit longer than the PNY unit you linked and it tops out at 256GB, but its write speeds are also quite a higher, which seems to be the differentiator for flash drives these days and is what drew me to that model.

My current models are the SanDisk Ultra Flair for infrequent, low capacity, and low performance use cases like Rescue Media and the like, and then an Extreme Pro USB 3.1 flash drive for higher capacity and/or higher performance use cases since it's basically an SSD on a stick in terms of performance. I use primarily SanDisk flash drives and have never once had a problem booting from any of them on any of the several PCs I've used them with, both Legacy BIOS and UEFI mode. Interesting that you've had trouble with SanDisk flash drives.
