I own a Samsung Chromebook and currently have ubuntu installed on the internal drive. I would prefer to run ubuntu from a larger SDHC drive to dual boot a bit 'easier' on the Chromebook as well as some extra storage space. As it only has 16gb internal I think this would optimal.
I installed ubuntu to a spare 32gb sdhc card I had on hand. It is a PNY 32gb but only a Class 4. It works perfectly it is just pretty slow. I would like to upgrade to a Class 10 sdhc card. I am looking at the Sandisk product line. Either the 32gb ultra or extreme sdhc.
My question is would there be any real advantage of using the extreme over the ultra in this application? Both versions are Class 10 UHS-1. Or should I really be looking into the Extreme Plus or Extreme Pro line?! I am open to other suggestions as well brand/model wise.
Would I be better off using a USB 2.0 flash drive(low profile)? I don't think the 3.0 port is bootable.
Thank you very much for your input!
