USB 3.1 Gen 2 External SSD as Boot Drive

[nemoryoliver]

Anyone here using a 10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 SSD Enclosure with NVMe PCIe SSD as the Boot Drive? Is building a drive like this better than using a Samsung T5 you think? Will this be reliable for long term?

USB3.1 gen2 will give reads about 1.8x-2x that of a t5.

No idea of long-term reliability.

But it will be noticeably faster than a USB3.1 gen1 drive.

Thanks a lot for the confirmation. I'll wait for more insights so I could decide.
