> That's a really big Raspberry Pi Pico at 128 MB
The RP2040 and RP2350 both report a size of 128MB. This is because it i s a convenient size, and because blocks are not actually written anywhere when you write to the drive. (UF2 sectors are recognized as they are written which is the point)
If we reported the actual size, the host would think the drive was full before a large UF2 was copied (UF2s are twice as big as the amount of storage they use). 128MB gives you lots of overhead to actually copy rubbish there too, or have UF2s with a bunch of other stuff in them.
