USB Flash Drive showing up as LOCAL DISK

Is there any way to know with certainty that none of the 128 GB USB disks have this defect? If not, I’ve got to pull the trigger on some solution pretty much now. Thanks!

Ed: I went through your link, but it only indirectly states what has been confirmed here: That you can only flip the necessary bit if that has been made physically accessible, which has been shown to not be the case with these defective USB disks. Thanks anyway.
