Hi there!
I have been quite happy booting [KLX]Ubuntu from usb2 or usb3 pendrives in a usb2 port. (A usb3 pendrive has faster flash than most usb2 ones, so that they will use more of the usb2 port transfer speed. But still, it is quite slow.)
I am also quite happy with esata for booting as well as regular data transfer from external drives.
But it seems that usb3 is growing on the market, and particularly new laptops are delivered without esata ports.
I understand that there have been problems to boot using usb3: boot from a usb3 pendrive in a usb3 port.
Do you know if it is possible today? Have you done it, in that case how?
