I have an alert set for this specific drive so that I can comment every single time they pop up: it's not worth it. The chances you get a crap drive that slows to a crawl under any size write are high.
It's a very slow drive.

Would this not be worth it to load up a bunch of bootable ISOs using ventoy? I would imagine once you boot you should be good to go

I haven't encountered issues with read speeds, but the writes would just.. hang at random. I suppose once your get the ISO write done you might be in the clear, but my general sense was that the handful of drives I purchased were unstable. Where there's smoke (write speed) there's fire (drive stability). I could just be paranoid, it's $10 after all. Just wouldn't do anything critical with it. Hope that helps answer your question
This is actually an excellent drive and fast, like 60MB/s+ fast. The problem is that there are so many fakes polluting the warehouses that it's very likely you will get a fake which like others have said is going to be very slow. I think if you could get one direct from HP that would be your best bet.

I confirm that this drive doesn't worth even if it is free. Super slow and it died on me with losing all the data.

I bought a 16 BG Sandisk extreme some years ago for this purpose, which apparently has the same kind of memory as an SSD, and it is perfect.
Who makes this kind of thing now? Not a portable SSD, a flash drive?
Could you please provide sample links for the 2 items you mentioned. Thanks in advance.
