  • it is a big deal. it fucks up even the remaining time estimation, but while the OS sees that write speed dropped to 0, the stick has literally frozen, it cannot even be read, or the directories browsed. I attribute this to crappy controllers inside the sticks, but of course I can’t actually know what’s at fault.

    I don’t think it’s about the speed of my PC. My PC was at most mid range when I built it ~4 years ago. and if I plug in a 10+ years old 2 GB flash drive (and other sizes, there’s still a few around), it won’t do that, instead it’ll have a slow but steady write speed, still being readable while I copy to it.
