Should use usb expansion drives as system disks or not?
Going to build a new machine I look around for a hdd for it.
Everywhere they're selling 'expansion' drives and 'backup' and 'portable' drives and their prices are good and reputable manufacturers, I think.
All USB devices.
It is easy enough to set up my computer to boot from a USB drive, I think? Usually? My board is an Asus H170. I could check that on an Asus forum or by going have a look through Bios. But I'm just talking generally, 'state of the art' sort of thing. Is this what is usually happening now?
Your system disk is an external 'portable' and, ultimate in security, you just take it away when you're not there?
Or should I definitely shop for a more 'normal' sata drive to use for a system disk?
Or should I avail myself of these well priced drives and remove them from their containers to access the sata connection inside and use them as system disks in that way?
I ask here because I run win10 and I'd like to know, of course, if there's any peculiarities with win10 that might have a bearing on this.
