what iso's are a must for ultimate ventoy disk(and what size is recomended)?

plotting_homelab@lemmy.world to Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 49 points –

hello guys i am wondering what are some must have iso's for a ventoy drive? and what size ventoy drive would you recomend (i am considering buying a 512gb, 1tb or 2tb tranced 220s nvme)

Back story: So i recently started my own "business" in computer support and i need a drive to put ventoy on (its currently on a 32gb micro sd card) so i can easily have memtest, ultimatebootcd and some linux distro's/windows install media and i am wondering if there would be any reason not to go with the cheapest per gb drive(2tb) as i could then also use it for some nice snappy file transfers. I am also looking to compile a list of iso's to put on it. As i mentioned before i already have a few things but you guys probably have more suggestions for iso's to put on a drive for repair\troubleshooting.

Thanks in advance for your advice on drive size and ISO recommendations.

Not really for ventoy but have you heard about medicat ? I have bookmarked it for sometime now but never had a chance to try.

Edit: medicat also supports ventoy

Yeah medicat is based on ventoy. Ama. I wrote the site.

I am wondering is there any way i can add my own iso's to a medicat drive? like is it just like the ventoy installer and can i than just use it as a preinstalled ventoy drive to put my own live iso/windows install media on it? or is it 1 drive only for medicat?

(btw i disabled my add blocker when reading your message about the only way to keep the site running i like this kind of hey i noticed you are running an add blocker kind of message and just wanted to support with adds)

Edit i found a typo on your site: https://medicatusb.com/docs/installation/supported-drives/ "We SRONGLY suggest" i think you meant STRONGLY

Yes you can. I add a window 11 iso to it as well
