Ever heard of Rufus? Windows app that makes it quick and easy to copy ISOs and images to a USB stick. Good for making Windows or Linux installers.Notice how you can only do one OS at a time?Ever heard of Ventoy? It’s a mini Linux bootloader that allows you to just drag and drop ISOs, VHDs, images, and etc to the usb drive, and boot from them in a list. So much more convenient, but then you have to hope Venroy both supports the ISO you’re trying to boot, AND hope it plays nice with your computer’s BIOS. Ventoy needs to be updated on the usb stick to ensure compatibility.Notice how that adds a failure point and more finagling?Here comes IODD with the easiest, yet most powerful, boot tool ever made. Slap a 2.5 inch drive in it (or perhaps an M.2 with a Sata adapter) and connect. The onboard screen will show you all the folders and files present. Select an ISO, VHD, image, or bin file, and it’ll put it in a virtual CD drive attached via USB. Boot from that natively, and you’re good to go!You can drag and drop any file just like Ventoy. Use ISOs alongside your documents and data.You can encrypt the drive with built in hardware acceleration. You can emulate floppy disks and internal AND external storage. You can set multiple users and add or remove access.No IT tech should go without their IODD.

Until I learned about this product on a YouTube video I was using Ventoy. The problem with Ventoy is that if you don't watch your OS installation you can sometimes overwrite the flash drive. I accidentally did that twice and lost about 20 ISO files. I got tired of re-downloading all of them again. So this product is perfect because it allows you to have the same functionality of multiple ISO files available to boot from but you have the ability to lock the drive from accidental overwrites. It would be nice if the user interface was a little more customizable or had more options. It's a full color display but could be so much more user friendly if it actually incorporated icons and logos and things like that. But just rating the product as it is and using it for a few months I can honestly say it's about as perfect as you could ask for as far as ease of use and reliability. I basically always keep the drive as read only unless I'm copying or deleting new ISO files so that I prevent accidental overwrites.

This is good when you have a variety of ISOs big or small for a technician. I used to install Windows Server, Linux. Can also boot live ISOs whether in BIOS or in UEFI, tested it. Also supports large ISO files the biggest one I chucked was just over 64GB in size. Not sure officially the max file size limitation. From what I read from the Manual it seems that for a 2TB SSD there is no limit. But I could be wrong.

Ein echt cooles Werkzeug/Multitool für den interessierten PC Anwender. Die Bedienung ist ein bisschen tricky, da muss man sich etwas rein Fuchsen aber das Tool kann extrem viel und wenn man erst mal weiß wie es funktioniert, ist es doch recht einfach.

I bought this specifically to use with some old iMacs mostly for convenience. I loaded it up with mac game iso images and it works great with mac os 9.2.2. Acts just like an external cd drive, and I couldn't be happier. If you have a use for this it's well worth the money. It's a great value, super easy to use, quick to setup, and incredibly convenient.

Prodotto molto valido e comodissimo io l'ho abbinato a ventoy. Non dò 5 stelle perchè è pò lento a caricare i dati ed alcune volte si blocca ma basta fare un reset e funziona bene

This device is very cool. It can act as a regular hard drive with partitions, various formats, etc. It can simulate a CD/DVD drive from an ISO file. It can simulate a flash drive from a VHD file. And, it can do combinations of all those things at the same time. For that, it is a very cool device and I'm happy with it. I'm not using encryption, so no comments about that.The things I don't like, but can tolerate...* The buttons are solid black and really hard to see the numbers/symbols on them.* The device "feels" a tad cheap - kind of a spongy plastic.* The UI is not intuitive to me at all. But, it is fairly basic and you'll eventually get the hang of it.* The on-device help and all the manuals are full of broken English and lack all sorts of details. It took me a while to realize you do most tasks from your OS, such as the initial format of the drive, creating flash VHDs, etc.* The device cannot create a VHD for you, so every time you want to create a 'fake' flash drive, you need to run a Windows app to create a VHD file, store it on the device's main hard drive, and then mount it from the device's LCD interface. It would be cool if the device could just generate and mount a blank VHD on the fly.* Only fixed size VHDs are supported, which potentially wastes a lot of space. You have to guess the max size flash drive to create for an image, and then live that decision regardless of how much data is copied to the flash drive. Maybe there are 3rd party tools that can shrink a VHD. What would be cool is if the device could support dynamic VHDs that grow as data is added to them.

This device works great.So far I've installed windows 11 and Armbianx86, each OS on its own .vhd.Windows 11 vhd booted fine first try. Initially I couldn't get Armbianx86 to boot. Turns out I had to disable secure boot even though it was a UEFI version of Armbianx86.I have two partitions on the drive. Each partition is selectable and can boot from vhd or iso.Lots of possibilities with this device.As others have said, the documentation is TERRIBLE! I had to play around with setting the USB/internal drive settings many times to get what they do. The "mode" CD, Dual or Hard Drive are apparently set by file name. Go to the IODD download site and download the vhd and util tools stuff and read through it and try to figure out what is relevant.I created vhd using Windows disk manager and IODD vhd tool. Creating a vhd in Windows takes a while. The IODD tool creates a vhd almost instantly. Both work fine.This is a fun and useful device. $90 seems a bit overpriced.

Manualen är inget vidare men ge den en stund sen är den fantastisk.Varför släpa på en massa USB minnen när den här kan ersätta dem alla.Den dyker upp som en disk på datorn, som en CD/DVD/BR spelare och som upp till 3 USB/HD enheter,CD/DVD/BR pekar mot en ISO fil, på disken, USB/HD pekar mot viruella hårddiskar, de går att skrivskydda efter behov och avmontera och montera andra helt efter behov.
