This is really strange. It seems faulty to me.

There are other things you can try:
1) try to create gpt partition of a small size - about 4GB a test geli on
it. If it works then try to destroy this partition and create it again but
big, about 10MB smaller than the device size (maybe there is some problem
at the end of the device)

2) if it is not working with geli, try it with simple gpart GPT + newfs
UFS or with ZFS. Once you have ZFS on it, you can put some files on it and
then run zfs scrub - if device is faulty there should be some checksum
errors in zpool status output.


Thanks for that tip.  4GB worked and after some chopping I found over 8GB
failed.
Therefore I believe I've purchased an 8GB flash disk that's been engineered
to report 1TB.
I very much appreciate your help Miroslav -- lee

It's sad. I hope you can return it to the seller and get your money back!
