| May 10 at 14:58 | comment | added | ReflectYourCharacter | @oldfred Yes, there are very good adapters for external devices and. the part about the extra power supply and loading into RAM is correct, and the same goes for the USB ports, that's why the laptop's hardware setup is important. I've had really good experiences with the SANDISK Ultra Dual Drive Go USB Type-C Flash Drive (400 MB/s) on older Lenovos. Debian, Tails, Qubes, and Kali run stable and very fast for me. | |
| May 10 at 14:15 | comment | added | oldfred | I have had multiple installs of Kubuntu on USB3 flash drives. Some faster than others, but they all are slower in writes. Once an app is loaded into RAM, then it makes no difference. But I upgraded my SSD in desktop to larger drive & put SSD into M.2 to USB adapter and now will not buy any more flash drives. External SSD almost as fast as internal. And be careful if using HDD that it has separater power, as USB port may not have enough. My first adapter USB/SATA, years ago, worked for old SSD, but would not power up HDD as only USB connection | |

| May 10 at 11:30 | comment | added | ReflectYourCharacter | I’m not sure if this is correct, but I found your stick listed at 130 MB/s | |
| May 10 at 11:28 | comment | added | ReflectYourCharacter | Sometimes it makes sense to completely wipe/erase USB sticks that were in use, delete all partitions, data and then try installing something on them again. | |
| May 10 at 11:26 | comment | added | ReflectYourCharacter | I don’t want to advertise, but I’ve had very good experiences with this USB stick: SANDISK Ultra, Dual Drive Go USB Type-C, Flash Drive, 400 MB/s. | |

| May 10 at 11:21 | comment | added | ReflectYourCharacter | If you can see the brand and ID of your USB stick, look up its specifications online | |
| May 10 at 11:20 | comment | added | ReflectYourCharacter | The problem is that there are huge differences between USB sticks. If you have a cheap, slow USB stick, it won’t run very well. | |
| May 10 at 11:18 | comment | added | Daryush | I'm not sure about the speed! It's not an expensive one! I used my daily using USB | |
| May 10 at 11:17 | comment | added | ReflectYourCharacter | An USB 3.2 with 400 MB/s runs very good and stable. | |
| May 10 at 11:16 | comment | added | ReflectYourCharacter | Speed 400 MB/s , 150MB/s ? | |

| May 10 at 11:15 | comment | added | Daryush | I used a 64 GB USB 3. | |
| May 10 at 11:13 | comment | added | ReflectYourCharacter | what kind of usb? | |
| May 10 at 11:13 | comment | added | Daryush | Actually I try the USB solution but it's too slow so I decide to transfer to HDD because I think it has more R/W speed. I use the HDD with USB 3 and the HDD is a new ADATA 1 TB. | |
