--- Comment #17 from Sebastien Boisvert <seb at boisvert.info> ---
I ended up using 2 x Kingston DataTraveler 2.0 sticks for my installation of
FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE (ZFS mirror).

I also purchased 2 x USB 3.0 Sandisk sticks instead of Kingston to see if it's
a vendor problem. I have not yet received those.

I do have an older Kingston USB 3.0 stick, and it is also unusable like the 2
newer Kingston USB 3.0 sticks.

In an experiment, I tried to install OmniOS r151030a on the same 2 x Kingston
DataTraveler 3.0. Like with FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE, OmniOS r151030a takes forever
to install itself on USB 3.0 sticks (ZFS mirror).

In another experiment, I installed OmniOS r151030a on the 2 x Kingston
DataTraveler USB 2.0 sticks. The installation went fine, but then OmniOS hangs
when booting off those USB 2.0 sticks.

So, I am happy that FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE works with USB 2.0. USB 3.0 would be
great though.
