Thanks Vit and Dave C! @Dave:
Yep, USB sticks get too hot - and the USB2 sticks I tried were far too slow for my taste. I have a couple of these laying around from previous laptop builds: https://www.amazon.com/Transcend-128GB-MSA370-mSATA-TS128GMSA370/dp/B00K64HXAA/?tag=eduncan911-20 Was going to use one and the smallest msata usb3 adapter I could find, like this: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6V83ZJ7496 But didn't want to buy that, and go through the trouble of setting things up and migrating over if it was going to have problems. Hearing that you have a multi-machine setup, with just a tweak it seems, assures me. Ordering today! Thank you guys!
