I was buying recently many (about 10 SanDisk drives in the past 2-3y). All of them come the same with the EXE and doc files on top. Linux formatted or not they all work as designed and expected. The problem OP has, might be result of: 1. wrong expectation (disk is extfat can not change permissions) 2. wrong driver in use (because usb0 indicates may be usb1 device) 3. some other unrelated issue Knowing what people do (when they have the freedom like in linux) I'm not surprised to hear any kind of problems.
