Being able to burn images to removable drives, such as USB flash drives, or SD cards, can be a real lifesaver, especially when wanting to deploy an operating system quickly and efficiently. There are multiple tools out there offering such functionality, but balenaEtcher Portable aims to offer a different take on the process. This compact and lightweight app will provide you with the means to burn USB installations from bootable ISO images, on flash drives and memory cards, with several, parametrizable elements.

Right from the start, I enjoyed the simple process behind balenaEtcher Portable’s functionality, and I can surely say that its minimalist design enhances efficiency and offers an accessible take on the burning process.

Selecting the preferred image, target drive, or card, as well as initiating the flashing process is a breeze, and this, coupled with the fact that the app is being distributed as a portable package of its installer brother, makes it ideal for working on-the-fly.

In addition to its simple burning process, the app also comes sporting several extra features, which address issues pertaining to verification and validation of the burning process. To that end, you will be able to choose it to eject the drive once the process has been completed.

Or, if required, perform a thorough verification of the writing process, through a dedicated validation at the end. Last but not least, due to its inherent capabilities, the app features an extensible nature, which is ideal for developers.

Not overly complex, and not too simple, this app provides reliable performance when it comes to burning ISO format images of operating systems, on either flash drives, or SD cards.
