You did mention USB3, as did others in this thread. Hopefully this is |
| 8 |
obvious to all, but under no circumstances should you try to run an OS |
| 9 |
on USB2 or less. eSATA or USB3 should in theory be fine, though I |
| 10 |
have no experience with the latter (I guess in theory it should work |
| 11 |
fine). |

Sure, any USB will work, but for USB2 or lower you'll start to get an |
| 14 |
experience that feels more like booting off of a LiveCD. |
