Install Windows Server 2003 From Usb Flash Drive

I built a new server to store my data for my Mac & Windows machines. The server is built on an 8 year old Windows desktop with software called Rockstor. I was able to install the complete server software, add my new 8GB drive and was off and storing all my data in about 2 hours. The software is great and it's FREE. The drive gives me a great deal of room to store all of my data and access the data from both Mac & Windows.

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.

Setup on a Windows print server. Works great.

I had a handful of various USB hard drive enclosures attached to my Plex server for storing media, backups, etc. I replaced all of those units with this and it cleaned up things very nicely. There are now fewer cords to manage, better transfer speeds and room for expansion. I love it! The best part is I didn't have to reformat any of the drives. I just powered things down, moved them over and powered everything back up. Everything showed up just as it was before. Perfect!

Easy to use and durable USB flash drive
