4) usb-creator sees and suggests to select just /dev/sdb1
In contrast,
unetbootin
easily created bootable /dev/sda1. It also sees /dev/sdc* (Verbatim Expresscard/34 64GB SSD),
which usb-creator-gtk does not.
Unfortunately, unetbootin does not have the useful persistent storage feature, which usb-create does

on another computer, on which I prepare bootable usb sticks (different Linux distributions and releases),
usb-createator started to fail (all with ubuntu*.iso):
