Boot Windows From Usb Flash Drive

This little USB drive is used to house a portable Windows 11 Pro system. Can be used to boot up any system such as in hotel bussiness center or library. The metal case protects it from being in a pocket or bag every day plus helps with heat dissipation.

I migrated from a 960 PRO, itself no slouch even by today's standards. But there are a number of scenarios where this TLC drive absolutely destroys the older MLC drive in my workflow: Copying large amounts of files, small or large. The new controller on this SSD probably helps quite a bit here. I'm very happy with the purchase, this was a totally painless migration of an existing Windows 10 boot SSD to this new one. Samsung offers migration software to download and it works really well. You just have to be aware that if you migrate a boot drive and reboot: (A) make sure you're telling your BIOS to boot from the new drive if you keep the old one in and (B) if you keep the old drive in, Windows will take it Offline. You have to go into Disk Management, delete the partitions on the drive and then create new partitions, then you can select to take the drive back Online and you're in business.

As usual for B&H the drive was delivered promptly, packaging was fine, boot time to windows compared to the old conventional drive is amazing. General task such as AV scans are dramatically reduced in duration. I used this drive in a Levono 330 laptop that had good specs except for not having an SSD. I used Macrium free edition with no issues to load my Windows OS and files. Thanks

I installed this 6tb to replace the 1tb drive that came with the computer. The Windows OS was on an a solid state drive and that helped make this an easy install. It worked perfectly on the first boot up after a minor change to the boot up instructions. It is a 7200 6tb drive at a great price and I highly recommend it.

I use windows 8.1 quite often. On this mac, all drives (except the internal flash drive) are external. Windows runs great off Thunderbolt connected drives. You can have multiple window drives and select the one you want on boot by holding down the option key.

Windows 11 pro in the USB drive very practical

Update can be done without old CPU with USB flash drive only.

We are using a flash drive to store and playback videos on a portable projector. I tried with a USB 3.0 Flash Drive, thinking the newer version was better. But the projector had a different idea. I learned from the professionals at B+H that this unit requires an older USB 2.0 Flash Drive. I never would have thought of that but sure enough, when I used this Verbatim 64G Ergo USB 2.0, the projector recognized the videos and played them flawlessly.

22TB SanDisk Pro G-Drive drive review I'm using this drive in a large photo and film Archive. I purchase a sample drive to test out before committing to more drives. The reformat to Windows is a pain. Luckily, I found a YT video that walked me through it. After reformatting the drive to Windows, the 22TB shrunk to 20TB. That is disappointing. It is not that noisy, just a few clicks once in a while. It is decently fast and really kinda quiet. I am using a USB3.0 port with Oyen adapter cable to go from USB C to USB A. SanDisk only gives you a USB C cable. Time will tell how they hold up, but if they do hold up, I plan to buy a few more.

Easy to use and durable USB flash drive
