wrimg
wrimg is an alternative for dd to write images to removable media. It has the following advantages:
Syncs buffers after each chunk is written, allowing C-c to work
For the same reason wrimg can make accurate predictions about the remaining time
Automatically adjusts buffer size when copying
Contains extra safety-checks to keep you from accidentally erasing your hard drives!
It is slightly slower than dd, with common SD-card/USB data rates usually a second or two. Copying between two very fast devices (like SSD-to-SSD) is better left to dd.
Installation
wrimg can be installed from PyPI:
$ pip install wrimg
Usage
Usage is straightforward:
$ wrimg someimg.iso -t /dev/sdX
The --target/-t can be omitted, causing wrimg to display a menu of suitable targets. For other options, check the --help option.
