Upcoming moOde 8.0.0 release
#45
@Sehnsucht

I use an old Lenovo Thinkpad laptop which has the usual USB ports as well as a SD port. I routinely flash moOde to uSD card either via a USB-uSD adapter or via a SD-uSD adapter. Both adapters were included in SanDisk memory card purchases I made sometime in the past. Card capacities have ranged from 4GB (well, ok, that's too small these days) to 64GB.

In short, I haven't suffered problems such as you report.

The adapter Tim linked to looks very cool and I might yet get one because it is USB3.0 compatible, which mine are not. Then again, my laptop is too old to have a USB3.0 port so the speed advantage would accrue only if I flashed from my RPi4s.

I use the Balena Etcher out of habit but, as Tim said, the Raspberry Pi Imager works fine.

Regards,
Kent

PS - There are some clever ways to deal with the problem of writing a new system from a working system...cases in point: a uSD card swapping method; more recently, the method being developed by the RPF for RPi4b-like hosts...but to me these are similar to the parlor trick of sipping water out of a glass while standing on one's head.

ETA - PPS - This with either LinuxMint or, previously, Win10Pro as the host on the laptop.
