Make A Bootable Usb

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.

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.

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.

Perfect size for bootable flash drive

very durable and works well, holds a lot and can be made bootable

Has all the ports (minus hdmi) that i need plus a few spare usb ports, clearly labeled so there's no guessing the speed/usb version. Make my desk much cleaner. No more need for a dock+usb hub. Powers my 16 mbp with no problem, even under heavy load. My ethernet network connection feels more stable than with my usbc hub i was using. It cost a bit of a premium over other, but is worth the money.

Make sure to connect directly to a computer USB port and not to a hub. To make sure the cable is well plugged in you must hear a slight click.

As others have noted, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A USB POWER ADAPTER THAT GIVES 2+ AMPS. As long as you have that, you'll be good to go. I'm using it with my M50 that I use with OBS, and I usually forget to turn the camera off between streams. I just half-press the shutter button to wake it up when I need to stream again. Never had any issues.

Make sure to actually use the usb output that matches the computer your are testing your mouse+keyboard with. I had the keyboard+mouse not working like some mentioned in other comments/reviews. I contacted the support team which helped me make it work correctly. It's silly but we never know what would have with lack of coffee :) .
