Hi All, I finally found a flash drive I like for installing Fedora directly (not live). Flash drives break down when a lot of small files go fly around and bog the OS down and often corrupt. I have had issues with both Kanguru and Kingston drives. I also test a Patriot drive. They goof around with parameters so that large file transfers give good numbers at the expense of small file transfers being so bad the stick almost unusable. Fedora on a Patriot was a joke. On a lark I tried a Samsung MUF-64BE3/AM and a Samsung MUF-64DA1/WW. Both are USB 3.1. And Wow. On two customer machines running USB 2, they preformed flawlessly. Actually even faster than the native Windows. And no corruptions and no ten minutes to shutdown Firefox. On my own USB 3.0 machine, they ran almost as 1/2 as fast as native (I have an NVMe drive). Both these guys ate Fedora 28 Xfce x64 alive, meaning it handled multiple small file transfers with ease. Anyone want to know the special tweaks to run off a USB drive, drop me a line. -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners.
