yes guys i would recomend using ssd rather than usb stick, and ssd getting cheaper anyway after m2 nvme taking the place buy 120/128 gb ssd is good rather installing on usb stick
ssd disk increases the boot speed of windows. For Linux systems, the boot time of the operating system with ssd and hdd is the same, or the difference is very small.
Why overpay for something that you can buy very cheap.
Used hard drives can be bought in bulk at very competitive prices.
I just ordered 10 120gb ssds for 219 usd. I had a few coupons so they cost me 160 at 16 a drive they are worth it.
I bought 80 GB sata HDD for $ 2 and this HDD have a perfect SMART
If there is an opportunity to save money, then I will use it.
For 5 years, not one of their hard drives has broken.
And now a lot of HDDs are sold due to the purchase of ssds.
You can buy hard drives with large gigabytes of cheap.
