Create A Bootable Usb Drive

I used Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable version of my mac on this drive. Now when I travel back to visit my folks, I slip it into my cary on - while I'm there, I simply plug into their mac and boot from this drive giving me access to all of my files and software. No worries about damage to my laptop when I get there, so much less baggage as I navigate from gate to gate. Great product!

Small! Fast! Easy to grip and pull out! It makes a great bootable USB drive for Windows 10 installations. I bought 3. The other 2 are now Windows Recovery Sticks.

Perfect size for bootable flash drive

I use these mainly when I want to make bootable USBs for various flavors of Linux, but also for sharing files when internet transfer is not practical (it is true! Sometimes "the cloud" is impractical!) I have not noticed any slowdown in data transfer relative to other USB 2.0 drives. I keep them on a keychain-or rather, several keychains, as I can never seem to have enough of these small-capacity, compact drives. I wish the 16GB size were not special order. It is getting harder to find small USB keys, and it seems a waste of admittedly cheap space to use half to an eighth of a thumb drive that will only be used to boot from a modest-sized OS. Of course, instant gratification/shipping is not always absolutely necessary. I mean, theoretically. I suppose.

I use this to connect my Mini (2014) to an external bootable USB disk and USB devices. It has a sleep function when the Computer going into sleep mode. It gives many USB ports to use and also can daisy-chain my other Thunderbolt device. I use Apple Thunderbolt 3 to 2 adapter to connect this dock station to the Mini. Simple setup and very good product so far. Very satisfied with the B&H sales team for all the help and this purchase.

I purchased several JetFlash 700 USB drives for reliable data transport and also as bootable drives for uses such as recovery. I have not measured the performance, but they seem to perform well for my uses. They are cost effective and come with a lifetime warranty, which gives me confidence they will not fail when I really need them. Also, the cap can be placed on the rear of the device so it is not lost.

This is my 2nd one of these drives.  I use them for Super Duper bootable backups of my IMac internal hard drive, as a fail safe for Time Machine.  I use them with an external drive sled connected via USB 3. Seem to work well, and get very little wear as they are only turned on when a backup is made.

I moved o.s. and bootable disk to this drive and now windows starts up in five seconds instead of the 30-40 seconds it was taking with the HDD.

Great to use as an additional bootable OS drive (eg: Linux, Portable Apps, etc). Stays flush to the laptop's body. I do miss a little activity LED...

Looking for a thumb drive that can handle the rigors of a bootable drive? Look no further, this drive is blazing fast and of solid construction. I previously bought a pny usb3 128GB and was unusable as a boot drive. Top notch. Great job SanDisk.
