Hi thanks for the amazing tool!

Wondering if it's possible to add a warning when a large drive (for example > 500 GB because I guess most people wouldn't use a huge drive as Windows install media) is selected as the target drive (I didn't attempt to "start" though, because I don't know if there would be a confirmation before it wipes the drive):

In my case, the 2 TB external SSD is used to store the Windows image (along with other data) and the 64 GB USB stick is the target drive, but WinDiskWriter automatically selected the 2 TB drive as the target drive (glad I noticed).


balenaetcher for example would display a warning and would not automatically select any drive for user:
