A cheap pendrive I already used to install four ISOs, two of them pirated.
Check out iodd enclosures if you have a spare 2.5" ssd!
I want to ask why I should consider that but then I realize this must be your most specific hobby and I'm afraid of the answer
No, not at all... Its an enclosure for an existing hard drive that makes it into a portable media device (like a flash drive), but because its an actual ssd you get much better sustained speeds.
There's also some cool features like drive encryption, as well as if you put an iso file on the drive, you can navigate to it on the on the iodd device using the screen and buttons, and then select it. The enclosure will emulate a DVD reader, and you can just boot the iso without having to do any etcher / Rufus / yumi / dd stuff
How did that earn you some savings? I'm totally on with having lots of stuff on a hard thumb drive, but how did it benefit you?
I went through the ISOs myself rather than going to a technician and paying for the service + the OS
