4) usb-creator sees and suggests to select just /dev/sdb1
In contrast,
unetbootin
easily created bootable /dev/sda1. It also sees /dev/sdc* (Verbatim
Expresscard/34 64GB SSD),
which usb-creator-gtk does not.
Unfortunately, unetbootin does not have the useful persistent storage
feature, which usb-create does
