I'd like to test it but I'll need to buy a USB key ;)
Has some one tried it? How fast does it perform off a USB key? Is it as fast as on a regular HDD? I guess it won't work on old systems that don't boot off a USB key though...What's nice is that you have R/W access (which you don't on a live CD).
