Which USB Drive ACTUALLY works


Recommended Posts

I got this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KYK2AKO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 (old gen) and it tells me it's incompatible.  - SanDisk 32GB Ultra USB 3.0 Flash Drive - SDCZ48-032G-UAM46

 

So what drive is ACTUALLY compatible.  I did a search and saw said drive was supposed to be compatible but the install file says no :(

Try the manual method of install  https://wiki.unraid.net/USB_Flash_Drive_Preparation#Windows_Vista_and_Windows_7

 

The current list of "incompatible" drives actually contains zero entries (because there are no incompatible drives per se), but rather the requirement is a unique GUID on the flash drive which by and large every flash drive has with the exception of counterfeit or extremely inexpensive drives.

 

NB, Amazon was found to be selling counterfeit drives (Sandisk) a number of months ago, but reports of that situation have dried up.
