Does anyone have a recommendation for the best most reliable USB drive to use when setting u a UCM
 
Most reliable way is not to use the UCM

I can't see that it is critical if you aren't doing many read/write

In other applications reputable brands such as Sandisk, Lexar and Kingston are recommended.
 
I use a Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3 (32 GB) and have no problems. I have used if for installs & upgrades on both UCM modules and physical servers.

There are some USB drives that just don't work, you use the USB creator and all seems OK, but you can't boot from it!

“Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it.
If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH'.
The paint wouldn't even have time to dry.”

I have never gotten a USB 3 key to work and have a cheap USB 2 with 8 GB that worked in the past and which I use every time I really have to upgrade one of those beasts.
I try usually to tell customers to switch to a real voicemail. :)
