You did mention USB3, as did others in this thread. Hopefully this is obvious to all, but under no circumstances should you try to run an OS on USB2 or less. eSATA or USB3 should in theory be fine, though I have no experience with the latter (I guess in theory it should work fine). Sure, any USB will work, but for USB2 or lower you'll start to get an experience that feels more like booting off of a LiveCD. Rich
