Bug Description

When initiating a write to disk, the confirmation dialog asks me if I'm "sure I want to write the image to the device". That's not actionable information.

Which device? At this point I want a confirmation that I selected the correct device, but that's not explicit information in the message box. How can I be "sure" of something that is only implied?

It's even more important to get this right considering that the tool itself gladly offers 1 TB large drives as destination drives, with no apparent sanity check in place whatsoever.
