Hello,
I'm speccing out some new hardware. It seems challenging to get vendor

I have been running OmniOS and Napp-It on my Dell T710 server, booting
off of a USB stick running on the internal port for several months,
with no issues or problems. I deliberately found and bought an SLC
flash-based USB stick for this purpose, on Taobao (China's Ebay) last
