[vox-tech] [SPAM?] Cloning image to mulitple usb sticks at once

[Jeff Newmiller]

You are overthinking it. It doesn't matter whether you have one or several images on the source disk... multiple processes will compete for access unless you have 25 hard drives because the disk heads are shared. Fortunately there is caching to alleviate some of this, but you should expect some performance hit trying to do 25 at a time.
