Pen Drive for external OS
Freitag, 24. Juli 2015 - 12:44
Choosing pen drives (with flash memory) for external operating systems:
- Hama Valeus FlashPen 64GB Speicherstick (150Mbps, USB 3.0). It’s a “LaCie RuggedKey” drive. I use it for an external Linux.
Not really suitable for external OS:
- Sony 64 GB MicroVault Entry USB3.0 Pendrive [USM-64X/W], “up to 110 MB/s” reading speed: Slow writing. Perhaps the original partinioning is optimized for that drive. I didn’t test it with the original partition. Reformatting (as required e.g. for Linux) may not be recommended. As for NTFS, writing is very slow, but works.
- I installed Linuxmint on a 64G SanDisk “Extreme USB 3.0″. It boots on an old EeePC 901, but not on a Lenovo 205. (2015-10-14)
