  • Sameish, for Linux I have the same, efi, root and a seperate home. Then I have windows efi and windows itself on another drive. Then I also have another drive for most of my storage, which is shared between Linux and Windows. I only really use my home partition for downloads and configs, maybe I should move my downloads to the storage drive so I can share them with windows as well. Not sure why I’ve never done that




  • If you use a usb 3.2 gen 2 port, your max speed will be 1250 MB/s, pretty much every nvme ssd will be able to max that. Fast USB sticks will undoubtedly be very close, but might not have the same sustained write speeds compared to an SSD (With Dram cache).

    If you’re just going to use it for recovery ISOs or installations it’s probably not going to matter much, I regularly use USB 2.0 usb sticks for that purpose just fine.

    It’s up to you though, I had an nvme ssd laying around and bought an enclosure for it, I get about 1000 MB/s read and write with it.

    So if you have an ssd laying around I think that would be a good option, but a usb stick will be fine as well and would be a little bit more compact, if that matters to you
