Etcher - Burn. Better. Burn images to SD cards & USB drives, safely and easily.

I was searching for good image burner for writing SD card for Raspberry Pi this was first time i am gonna use Raspberry Pi and i don't wanna it to go in wrong way.

I searched for tool which is easier and smarter which is the Etcher i come to know about this.

https://etcher.io/

I liked the look of Etcher’s clean and simple interface which is platform independent works on any platform.

Its simple 3 step interface: 

STEP 1:
  • You browse to the image file from your system.
  • Select a drive SD card or USB drive. 
  • Now lets hit the Flash button to start the burning image on SD card or USB drive.


STEP 2: 
  •  Now wait for few minutes to burn the image on SD card or USB drive.
  • Once its done it will start validating whether its burned correctly.

STEP 3:
  • Once the process has finished you have the option to burn the same image again or to choose a different image.

 
When selecting image files you can select IMG and ISO files as expected but also Zip files. This allows you to burn Raspberry Pi images or other images too without even extracting them from the source Zip files.
Their site lists "simultaneous writing for multiple drives" and "flash multiple image on drive" as a future feature which would be a very welcome addition.
