If it can’t be viewed and copied, than what is the purpose of writing to it??
If you want to make sure that only authorized programs / users can view the data, then you need to somehow validate if a program is authorized or not, which means that you have to enable reading (and thus copying) of the USB drive.
The other option is to use a password protected USB device from a company that produces them and ask them to put your data on it. Because as long as you intend to make password protection by yourself you will only end up with encrypted data/folder which will get decrypted if user enters correct password, which means that they will be able to copy (maybe not in a typical ctrl-C way, but using some different approaches) everything to computer.
