Hello all,

I am still a bit fuzzy and really need some clarification. Can I boot OS from a jump drive, then install it to an external USB 1TB hard drive and run the OS off of the external hard drive, just for a month or two? Would it still function properly and mine the exact same? I have plenty of external hard drives and jump drives, just no standard HDD or SDD.

If I am correct this will be fine, just a bit hard on the hard drive, but shouldn't affect any speeds or hash rates, right?

If you could please help I would be very grateful
