Stumbled across a deal for 10 64 GB USBs for 12 bucks. Figured it was so cheap that it can’t possibly hurt to have them, but now I’m wondering if they’re particularly useful for anyone?

    Not particularly in that size.

    I’ve got some decent ones I regularly use that are 128GB

    Stick ventoy on there and boot whatever.

    Imho it’s way worth it to spring for the better usb3 or above drives unless you’re just giving them away.

    What you’ve got I’d be using as install disks for os factory reinstalls.

    Yeah yeah I could just use the clean windows iso I have on the ventoy drive but then I have to go hunt down the drivers whereas if I flash the original factory install on there it all just works.

    Especially on a lot of the newer ones that require drivers just to see the NVMe drive to install in the first place.
