I am planning to use this board
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128975&cm_re=Z270P-_-13-128-975-_-Product
I would like to use your software, has anyone setup their rig with this board and your software before? I do not see it on the supported OP

What is the opinion on SSD vs USB drive, it makes sense to use a usb for the HD if its fully functional for this setup, however if an SSD is needed that is not an issue however given the choice why not use USB?

I will order one of these and make an image for it: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128975

I understand why members are hesitant to try a USB key, cheap USBs are usually terrible: and fast ones are usually expensive.

The Lexar drives I recommend are both fast and cheap. Other members have requested I fully support SSDs again; so I am going to re-add full support for them in a later version.

Currently you will either need to use manual intervention or make some changes to the system or bash files when using an ssd.

Personally I use all Lexar 16gb USBs with my rigs; except one has a Lexar 32gb I got to test. I think they are the better choice over a more expensive ssd.

This is my reasoning:

The 16gb Lexar's I recommend are very fast (watch one of the nvOC demo videos if you don't believe me)

are very cheap: $8

are easy to attach to image then remove and reattach to a rig

vs a regular SSD or HDD allow you to use at least one less cable on your rig.

Finally using a usb key allows users to try nvOC without needing to install over their previous OS (no commitment needed).

Although one could use a sata to usb adapter with an ssd, or an type of usb ssd / adapter (there are a lot) and it would match all the advantages other than cost. I recommend spending $8 on a Lexar 16gb and seeing if it is fast enough for you; if it is (and most likely it is) then you just saved ~$30 per rig.

I would really appreciate that, I just ordered 2x boards to setup Nvidia rigs with

Thank you for the detailed explanation, I am looking forward to trying your software

I will be honest however, I do not have experience using Linux, would you recommend against using your nvOC OS because of that or is there a particular guide/link you'd recommend?

Watch the demo videos I made. Configuring oneBash will probably be the hardest part, but I think you will be able to do it. If you have questions, I should be able to answer them.

Also I am reasonably sure that if an ssd is imaged while connected to the build pc with a USB-to-sata adapter and then attached to a rig via the usb-to-sata adapter that it will also work fully with all the current nvOC images. Not sure why I didn't think of this before.

I will order the USB you rec'd and give it a go, especially since you're ordering a https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128975&cm_re=Z270P-_-13-128-975-_-Product to create image. I will post video results once I get it operational, I should have all my parts in by the end of next week

Sounds good, let me know if you have any questions. If I don't answer quickly, its most likely because I am asleep or have turned off notifications to get work done.
