Star Wars Fan looking for a cool USB 3.0 drive?
-
I haven't used one in years.
-
We use them in the lab but not in production.
-
I use them around the office occasionally.
-
I use them to boot Clonezilla since I haven't setup a PXE boot system yet.
-
It's amazing how few companies have PXE boot. Even big ones.
-
I wonder if it's really worth the effort for PXE booting when you can so easily boot from a USB stick. Even in large companies what are the chances that users would ever boot to the PXE environment?
-
PXE is popular for server build processes.

You and I live in different worlds. I build so many desktops, and very few servers. Of course I'd love to turn that around...
-
If you build lots of anything PXE becomes nice. No need to carry anything and you can initiate rebuilds remotely.
-
USB drives are handy for working with machines that fail to boot properly. Booting to a Linux USB drive is a great way to clear out most basic malware infections in less than 15 minutes.

For the Empire!
...Oh, wait, wrong empire.
