Sometimes it's tricky to get it to boot to the right disc because you have to have it powered to select your. I used to have a keychain full of tiny SanDisk USB drives, but this is way easier. These days I've got tons: different Windows install discs (especially from manufacturers like Dell and HP), troubleshooting discs like Hiren's Boot CD, Barts PE (probably too old to use these days), and utilities like SpinRite and Active KillDisk. I put a 2.5" SSD in it and just load up any bootable disc I need. It came with zero documentation and the menu was in Korean, but I found a youtube video on it and figured out how to switch the menu to English. I was looking for a link to it but couldn't find it, I bought mine from Amazon back in like 2014 I think. IODD 2531 is something I've never heard of until today but is definitely something I'm going to look into - it sounds perfect for my usecase both at home and in the go-bag. NVMe enclosure with Ventoy sounds like a boatload of fun and would run Hiren's at record speeds for sure. SanDisk and Ventoy seems to be very popular choices for USB stick solutions. Thanks a bunch gang I've gotten a lot of great insight here.
What brand/model of USB sticks have you had the best experience with in terms of longevity? I mean who's the immortal Demon God of USB memory sticks for bootables? I'm gonna start doing repairs at home in my small town for fun in my spare time for people, and I want to make some new sticks for my Windows installers, PEs, Hirens (ya boy still on the classics) etc.Previously I just replaced the sticks that gave up with whatever cheap 8/16GB sticks that were in stock at the time, but now since I have a chance to start from scratch, I'm wondering:
I grabbed my tools and left my collection of USB sticks thinking I would just replace them eventually. I've recently quit my job at a small repair shop in Reykjavik and moved countries.
