balenaEtcher è un software sorprendente in quanto consente, a differenza di molti programmi simili più o meno recenti, di creare chiavette USB avviabili dal BIOS quindi "bootable" con una semplice operazione di drag and drop ovvero trascinamento del file ISO da scrivere e montare sul pennino: nessun'altra operazione richiesta, nessuna necessità di trovare i settaggi particolari specifici per quel tipo di ISO in quanto il suo motore di auto rilevamento della ISO è in grado di ottenere in pochissimi secondi tutti i settaggi necessari per scriverla sulla chiavetta USB (anche offline quando non avete internet) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sarebbe utile abilitare una modalità log o più verbosa in modo tale da mostrare agli smanettoni che ne hanno necessità, specialmente gli specialisti del settore IT, i log in tempo reale dell'operazione di scrittura su disco ed alcuni dati utili come la velocità di scrittura in MB al secondo MB/s Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can really create USB bootable media (such as windows OS installation or Ubuntu live distro) with a simple drag & drop from your folder to Balena: it will smart-search for ISO type and content to partition and configure your USB drive with correct options to let it boot from your BIOS menu.

Forget the old times when you have to burn your ISO files five or ten times to search for the correct settings to make it start, with Balena first time run is always a success! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IMHO need to be integrated with official free Operating System repositories to add a "download latest version ISO" feature directly into the Balena GUI to let users download operating system ISO without having to browse website and ftp folders of official mirrors spending a lot of time searching for the latest ISO Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not an Etcher issue, but sometimes Ubuntu doesn’t clock the SD card Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is by far the easiest way to flash an os onto an sd card. (e.g. raspbian, ubuntu core etc.) I have tried other methods which often involve unzipping different tarballs and then find the correct device to flash to. With Etcher, I don't even have to unzip. I just download the zipped image, select the downloaded package and then click the card on a UI to flash the os to. Got Etcher for raspberry pi and then started using it for flashing any OS to SD card. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited functionality, but that's kind of why you use it. It just does one thing really really well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
