Thousands of Unraid setups go many years without any USB boot stick errors. I get that. But I don't think I agree 100% with what you're saying. Yes, you are correct, there are thousands of setups that are just fine, and obviously they outnumber anything else by a wide margin. The excuse that the problem can't be consistently reproduced seems like a copout to me. Most of us are paying for the software. Shouldn't it be part of the developers job to investigate things like this and (hopefully) come up with a workaround or solution? Just based on what I could find, there is a not so small number of users who have the issue as well. Those only represent a finite number of users who have gone through it, not counting an unknown number of others who dont post on forums (here, Reddit, Discord). Granted there are multiple ways to fix it, and most probably work. It doesn't help that for my use case I'm using what's supposed to be a proprietary nas and repurposing to Unraid. It's my understanding that USB is USB no matter what. Without getting into the whole charge vs data part of it, the backward compatibility should be stable. Of course, this does not account for the number of flash drives available, their quality, etc. There are other NAS operating systems who get by just fine with a HDD, SSD, DOM, etc. I suppose you could argue that part of Unraid is proprietary too, hence part of the issue. It just seems that in 2023 there would be a better way. Perhaps I'm wrong.
