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.
So for me (also do IT/Security consulting and repair) I have:
EDIT: Also have two versions (x86 and x64) of AntiX for general purpose stuff. Boots into RAM like puppy but I find it a little more useful.
I have these running on a 128 (I think, might be bigger) flash drive that I actually have looped on my keychain. I have found that 90% of the things I need to do can be done from that, and having it on my keys means I always have it ready. Unless I lose my keys for a while that is…
Thank you very much for this list! I’m just now getting started in this kind of world. I was always a hobbyist but I’ve started doing a little IT on the side now and I love seeing peoples tools.
Not a problem, I enjoy passing down knowledge even though I am still relatively new in the field as well (5 ish years). Good luck with the business! Don’t get discouraged if it starts slow, don’t be afraid to admit that you don’t know how to do something yet, and never stop learning.
