Etcher is a powerful OS image flasher. It protects a user from accidentally overwriting hard-drives by making drive selection obvious; and with validated flashing there is no more writing images to corrupted drives. It is also called balenaEtcher since it is developed by balena.
In addition, balenaEtcher can flash directly Raspberry Pi devices that support usbboot. Use for .iso and .img files, as well as zipped folders to create live SD cards and USB flash drives.
Written with Electron for cross platform use (windows, macOS, and Linux).

- Validated Flashing

I used Etcher first on a linux laptop with USB 2.0 ports. The writing went slow and aborted too. As Etcher is a cross platform tool, I then decided to use a MacBook Pro laptop with a USB 3.0 port and a Sandisk Ultra Flair USB 3.0 drive and the writing went at least 4 times faster and completed successfully. Also, as USB 3.0 drives are backward compatible, I booted it on my linux laptop with USB 2.0 port and it booted successfully. Hope, this helps someone, facing similar problems. Thank you Balena Etcher. P.S. This USB 3.0 drive ( connected via a Portronics MPORT 31C 4-in-1 USB Hub ) gave me read speeds of nearly 150 MB/S and write speeds of 20 MB/S. Also, to prevent Mac laptop from sleeping in between, I used this tool : sourceforge.net/projects/stop-mac-ipad-smartphone-sleep/
