Forget USB stick as OS device as it told by others :)
If you want to keep SATA ports, you should add some more either
connecting to a low profile pci/pcie card or maybe to use some msata
add-on card. It is fast, reliable and not so expensive

The get a 64Gb SSD internal as you primary device and put all data on a

If I do that I lose one SATA port out of the 4 that the motherboard has.

In my experience, that's a bad idea. USB-sticks are not reliable over
