after reviewing this thread i wanted to add an additional link/article/comments regarding an earlier post mentioning a "usbkill"

https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2016/09/usb_kill_stick.html

yes, i know it is old news but it is still a present-day concern to anyone using any electronics and/or their associated peripherals.

stumbled across this webpage while researching something else and wanted to include it on our forum/threads/webpages:

https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#preparing-sd-card

definitely good to review the whole webpage but here is a quick snip:
--- Quote ---Preparing SD card:
Important note: Make sure you use a good, reliable and fast SD card. If you encounter boot or stability troubles in over 95 percent of the time it is either insufficient power supply or related to SD card (bad card, bad card reader, something went wrong when burning the image, card too slow to boot – ‘Class 10’ highly recommended!). Armbian can simply not run on unreliable hardware so checking your SD card with either F3 or H2testw is mandatory if you run in problems. Since counterfeit SD cards are still an issue checking with F3/H2testw directly after purchase is highly recommended.
