linuxgeex Makes sense with the different brand. Previosly I thought it would be best when both (all) devices where the same in RAID configurations.

I tried several different mirrors all with the same error.
And people talk about using Linux like some badge of honor to show that they are more computer literate than Windows and macOS users.Last edited by Sonadow; 28 March 2021, 10:50 PM.

It becomes an easy physical denial of service vector, not all firmwares are super reliable with detecting USB storage, and many thumb drives have unpredictable power-on delays ( they run consistency checks at power on and many have weak resources for that purpose ) which contribute to the likelihood of not being detected.
If you're just talking about a personal use PC where you can tolerate detection failure at boot time then yeah you can just reset and cross your fingers for the second startup.
If you care about uptime, ie your server is in a colo, you're really best off booting from PCIe SSDs, which is why all modern server boards are shipping with M.2 PCIe sockets. If it has 2 slots, put a different brand in each slot to mitigate the risk of simultaneous failure due to identical firmware bugs. Same thing if you have a RAID1 boot volume across 2 SAS/SATA SSDs - pick two different brands for the boot RAID pair.
Thanks for explaining your thinking.

Works great on all of our machines, which, by the way, have all upgraded to Ryzen 4700u. You can use the hybrid iso to burn a bootable liveUSB. Or better, make a persistent liveusb.
We have been Ubuntu users since 2008~9, but have switched to Debian 11 for almost three months now. We do have Ubuntu 20.04.2 in one of our partitions just in case, but never had to boot into the Ubuntu partition, except for the routine system upgrades and refreshing the backups.
