Very

for what purpose

>>51843334
It would be extremely slow.

>>51845347
For you

Depends on the disk inside and the USB controller.

Are you buying a $60 external HDD that has USB3? It'll probably be shit.

Are you buying a dedicated USB3.0 to SATA bridge and connecting a SSD to the other end? Probably not slow at all.

It would be the same if HDD or better if SSD.

What's the best bridge to get?

borrowing a laptop I can t mess up

Anywhere from extremely slow to super fast, depending on the OS, the HDD speed, and the motherboard.

Dude it depends.99 jersk here out of 100 didnt do such a thing and try to sound smart. Fuck them. Its all about numbers. I did loonix install on 500gb usb3 hdd, 7200rpm with 170mb/s throughtput and it boots up 20 to 30 % faster than seagate sata 5400 internal hdd. Its all about numbers, remember.

For what it's worth, I installed Antergos through a VM on a USB3 external and I didn't notice any difference in responsiveness from my W10 host.

Linux works really well because of the way it handles disk caching.
Windows is shit on external media.

>>51848534
I'm not even sure one can run Windows from an external disk like one can with GNU/Linux. A few years ago (8.1-era) I heard it was impossible.

>>51848565
You can install it as Windows on the go through a few different installers.
It works, but it's finicky about what it will run on.

I stuck an SSD in a USB3 high speed enclosure and it was pretty fast to be honest. ~200MB/s
