I’ve kept a drawer full of USB sticks for several years. These drives have been the primary place I keep my OS installers. Some are for Windows, some for the numerous Linux distros that I use, and others for recovery tools. With them, I could always wipe a drive and start over whenever a new ISO dropped. I used Etcher and Rufus, but they involved a cycle of re‑flashing.
