| Jul 26, 2018 at 1:42 | comment | added | Jaromanda X | I did some basic benchmarking (in windows) ... my USB3 stick is 1.5 to 2.0x faster on reading than a USB2.0 stick, and 10x faster at writing (I suspect my USB2.0 stick is not the best though and I only have the one) - not "comprehensive" proof that USB3.0 sticks outperform 2.0 - of course, that doesn't explain the poor speeds in the pi :p | |
| Jul 26, 2018 at 0:03 | comment | added | Jaromanda X | @MichaelHampton - I understand that I wouldn't get USB3.0 speeds, but a USB3.0 thumb drive should at least achieve USB2.0 speeds in a USB2.0 system, but the speeds I was getting (unmeasured, however) made the system virtually unusable - it may well be that the Pi accesses a USB3.0 thumb drive slower than it would a USB2.0 thumb drive - or it may be the particular thumb drive itself (Toshiba brand) - I just wanted to add a caveat that booting from USB on Pi may not result in a particularly useful system :p | |

| Jul 25, 2018 at 23:49 | comment | added | Michael Hampton | @JaromandaX That's because the USB ports are USB 2.0. | |
| Jul 25, 2018 at 23:24 | comment | added | Jaromanda X | Another side note to boot from USB - I have used this feature on a Pi3B, using a Toshiba USB3.0 thumb drive - and the results were absolutely appalling - disk read/write speeds were pathetic - not sure what's at fault (probably the thumb drive, though it is a USB 3.0 drive and is appropriately fast when used in MSWindows) | |

as a side note, for Pi 1 & 2 you can also put just bootcode.bin on a SD card and the full raspbian image on a USB drive, and effectively boot from USB on earlier Pi's
