Traditional ISO installation tools could install only on USB flash drives. However, balenaEtcher, and Ventoy, can also install ISO on internal hard disk drives.

The benefit of installing from internal hard disk drives is that they:

* can always be mounted in the computer, so they will always be accessible

* they are faster than USB flash drives. Even the fastest USB flash drives are using compact internal hard disk drives like NVMe M.2.

Issue

The issue is that GNU/Linux distribution installers are designed for USB flash drives, which means that they will not add a warning text next to the title for internal hard disk drives even if they are used as installation medium.
