I finally stopped using a dozen different USB sticks for diagnostics and switched to a Ventoy drive with all my tools on it after a job in Seattle took twice as long because I forgot the right one.

What other multi-boot setups are you guys running on your main service drive now?

My buddy still carries a whole CD wallet for boot disks. Refuses to trust a single flash drive. It's like a time capsule in his bag.

Honestly I get it, some tech just feels more solid. My old backup drive is the same way.

Remember when you could drop an old Nokia from a ladder and it would just keep going? That's how I feel about some of these older drives. My husband still uses a compact flash card from 2008 for his camera backups. Works every single time, no questions asked. There's something to be said for gear that feels truly indestructible.
