Who the hell still uses flash drives in 2026? Especially a slow-ass USB-A one. I can’t think of a single use-case for them.

What’s the advantage of using a slow USB drive instead of just network-booting the install media or mounting it through IPMI?
Just send the data between machines using SCP, much easier and faster.
Backups you do either to a NAS or to a Thunderbolt-connected SSD, not a USB-A drive. Again, much too slow to use a USB drive.
Why spend 30 minutes setting up the networking when I could just plug in the USB and go do something else for 5 minutes?
