That would appear to be an 8GB Thumb/Flash drive, or maybe an 8GB memory stick for a camera. Could be 'hidden' files on it. Right-click it and choose Properties, see if you get the same information.

How old is it, could it have been used before? For Thumb/Flash drives you can format them in the computer but if a memory stick used in a camera format it in the camera's utilities or it may become unusable [cameras do it differently]. Copy the files to somewhere else first if you want to save them. Also keep in mind there is always a lesser size reported after the process of formatting, seldom will the actual size equal the advertised/package size.
