vitaliy, tried several 2TB USB sticks, SANDISK EXTREME PRO, and also an SSK 2TB, which actually is a tiny SSD in the form of a stick (see attached pic) - that one worked once (!) only.

cooling: first tried a fan - worked down to constantly 65C, then an icepack in a woolen glove - worked well - constant 38C.

i am not giving up ...

JFYI: Meanwhile, MultiDrive is now live on Product Hunt!
This is our first time launching Atola software there. It's doing very well competing for Product of the Day.

It's Still missing everything I have mentioned earlier , any storage utility must show all basic & essential parameters first.

I see why this is needed for tech-savvy users like you and me. And it's certainly the vector of the development in the future. However, for the majority of the current user base, MultiDrive is lovable because it helps them handle basic tasks without details and in the simplest possible way.

Hey, that's why they supported the tool on Product Hunt! It's extremely hard to win there.

What else is new:
- Format after Erase - new option to format the drive once erasing is complete
- Smarter write error recovery
- Better EFI and Recovery volume display
- Cleaner date format: dates now show as "Oct 31" instead of "25-10-31"
