New USB stick for Linux

[Deleted member 155466]

I bought a 32GB USB stick for my Linux Operative Systems, it works very fine, I was amazed by the write speed (about 20mb/s). I recommend that before buying a new USB to read well what is the writing (and reading) speed because there are many old and slow flash drives on the market, now USB 2.0 are now almost obsolete because they write and read at a speed about ten times lower than 3.0 and 3.1 USB sticks.

With a Flash Drive of that size...you could install Ventoy and have a few ISOs as shown.

The best thing about Ventoy is with the free space left...you can add Folders or Files too.
