Public bug reported:

I don't feel comfortable seeing my backup drives of 1+ TB being listed
alongside actually reasonable destination devices like 8 GB sandisk usb
sticks. It's unnerving just seeing them listed, no matter how
technically correct it might be. I don't want to repeatedly expose
terabytes of my data to the risk of a simple slip.

A sanity check would be nice. Make it a conscious decision to list
devices larger than e.g. 64 GB.

Ubuntu 20.10
