The issue with installing an OS on a USB stick that's meant for that (FreeNAS, NAS4Free, ESXi, etc.) is that you'll run into the unreliability of bottom-of-the-barrel NAND quality sooner or later. To tackle this I was looking into reliable sticks that aren't "enter-priced" (like HPE's Flash Media Kits) and I came across the reasonably priced Transcend JetFlash 780 that boasted MLC memory, USB 3.1 gen 1 speeds and a 5 year warranty. Then I thought about using two sticks to put into RAID-1. At which point I thought: WHY NOT BOTH ?!This OCD-approved perfect fit was no accident.
