I see. Those are all USB 2.0, probably, no? Does the lower read/write speeds compared to 3.2 make a difference for booting from a live ISO?
Cause the smallest USB 3.2 flash drives I could find were 16GB. But that leaves room for a casper.rw and a swapfile if necessary, or even multiboot, so it’s not that bad. And they come in 5 packs!
Of course, if someone has a collection of promo sticks, use what you have of course…
I bought a brand new 4GB off Amazon last year that is supposedly made by Sandisk. Seems legit and been using it with one of my 3D printers.
Impossible to find them in any brick and mortar store anymore. It’s so dumb because they come in handy and I hate thinking of wasting larger drives with so many writes.
Now is the perfect time with memory being so expensive.
Can you even find 4GB flash drives anymore? Outside of sketchy ebay stores, I mean?
The biggest online store in my country has 4GB flash drives permanently on sale for $3.
They hand out 1GB businesscard labeled ones like table pens pretty often at vendor booths
Companies at onferences give 4/8gb out sometimes. They buy branded ones in bulk.
