Thumb drives are definitely not created equal. other than download
speeds there are other timing issues. the combination of the OS on a
desktop or laptop computer and the firmware on the motherboard seems to
deal with poor quality thumb drives. but just about any dedicated
hardware that just has basic USB support will not like substandard thumb
drives. At work we use thumb drives to load and upgrade firmware on
much of our equipment and find that many types fail. Oddly its not
always the more expensive brand names that work. we have a bunch of
no-name drives from an unknown source that just fine. The Kingston
Data Traveler is the one that is recommended by engineering and work well.

Did not know there were significant differences between thumb drives.
I have a couple of dozen of assorted makes/sizes and have never had a
glitch with any of them. Are there specific models to stay away from
for use with Elecraft?
