If you’ve searched for “Rufus Linux download,” you’re likely trying to create a bootable Linux USB drive on Windows. But here’s the first thing you need to know: Rufus is a Windows-only tool — there is no native Linux version of Rufus.

That doesn’t mean you can’t use it to put Linux on a USB stick. In fact, Rufus is one of the best applications for exactly that. Let’s clear up the confusion and get your bootable Linux USB ready. Rufus is a free, open-source utility for Windows that helps format and create bootable USB drives. It’s incredibly fast and lightweight (around 1 MB). You can use it to write ISO files — including Linux distributions like Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux Mint, Arch, and Debian — directly to a USB stick. So, No Linux Version of Rufus? Correct.

    Random adjectives, desperate efforts to “humanize” the tech resulted in this huge review to contain next to no information at all.

        As an enterprise product I can see it as a high-end workstation device but not a server device. The lack of RAIDability seems to limit its use to caching and high-speed scratch work area.

        I’ve been informed that PCIe hardware RAID will be available on the Skylake CPU and the Xeon version when it comes out later. Now we’re talking………

    so this is a preview, not a review… where are the comparisons to P3700 and PM951?

      I don’t have access to those drives. We reviewed the P3700 in another system. Because of that as well as a change in our testing methodology, we cant not graph them side by side. Looking at the P3700’s specific review you can gauge for yourself the approximate performance difference between the two.
