Best USB drive to use as bootable medium

First time with Linux & first time here. SO, I’m now needing a bootable USB in order to clone a failing SATA drive & looking to find out best makes/models (under £20 if possible) to enable that process.

Then, as I’ve already tried & failed at the above (first time I used Etcher, but drive never worked properly thereafter & Partition Master couldn’t seemingly do much with it even after formatting etc) what’s the best way to undertake the task?

I’d prefer to use Partition Master through Windows to achieve the clone, but it’s apparently more likely to maybe cause further damage or be more intensive than using Linux but I’m rather lost on how to achieve the process this way. :frowning:

Any help appreciated.
