It seems that it is very easy to find lists of drives that won't work with tails, but a list of drives that DO work is non existent far as I can tell. Would like to compile a small list of known to work devices that maybe we can list in the DNM bible after verification.
If you don't mind helping here's what I'm looking for:
Can't be on the known problems list of the tails website https://tails.boum.org/support/known_issues/index.en.html
Known to work with newest version of tails, 3.0
May edit above if think of more options but mainly the two things above.
Over the next week or two I am going to take the top runners and verify they work, both with an older version of tails(2.12) and then upgrading from that to 3.0. Once verified to be working on all three of my systems I will add them to my list along with where they were bought and price payed. After all testing will forward my results to /u/wombat2combat
The question "which USBs will work?" comes up almost daily. Having a small known to work with tails list as part of the DNM bible will alleviate most of these questions(and if asked we'll know they haven't read the bible)
TIA for any/all that don't mind helping out. If for some reason you don't want to post publicly shoot me a PM.
About this account: I have been around for a long time, here and on the DNMs, don't let the newness fool you. I rotate accounts on an unscheduled basis just because I'm paranoid like that
ONN-brand, 4GB, $7 at walmart. Very flimsy plasic, flimsy enough to break in half using just your hands if you needed to quickly get at the memory chip to burn it out with a jet lighter.
