I combined all my USB drives onto four USB sticks and wanted to check if the Linux drive I used for installation could fit on another stick. Also, I needed to know whether inserting USB 2.0 cables into USB 3.0 ports would slow down data transfer. Since USB 3.0 uses more wires than USB 2.0, it should support faster speeds. If I purchase USB 3.0 cables for my 3.0 computer ports, how can I tell if my drives are USB 2.0 or USB 3.0?

You may add additional files, though you must usually reformat it to create a bootable disk.

I meant to clarify the process by explaining it clearly. You're referring to preparing a USB drive for booting, organizing your files into a clean format, and then transferring everything to the new drive. You have several sizes available—32GB, 16GB, 8GB, 4GB, and 1GB—and you're looking to set up a bootable system from those.

Avoid using a USB drive. Updated versions of unetbootin allow installing Linux directly without reformatting or wiping the drive.
