you can get progress (without any other commands installed) like this:

After you start dd, open another terminal and enter either:

`sudo kill -USR1 $(pgrep ^dd$)`

Or, if you're on BSD or OS X:

`sudo kill -INFO $(pgrep ^dd$)`

but etcher seems to be way faster than dd for me

bs=1M will help you.

`pkill -USR1 dd` may also work
