This should be possible by creating dedicated udev rules.

You will probably need two rules:
For your specific pendrive a rule to allow and mount it
and for all other usbstorage device a rule to disable them.

A web search should show examples for such rules.

e.g.
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/63199/how-to-disable-usb-devices-based-on-vendor-id-in-linux-environment
https://askubuntu.com/questions/626744/udev-rules-to-allow-only-one-vendor-and-model-usb-drive-but-no-others
(I have not verified the validity of these links)

Can you help with this problem?
