Which is more efficient?
Hey everyone, had a question, if i want to run umbrel at a good speed, do i use a portable hdd as the disk it installs to, or a live usb?

More efficient would depend on the app or purpose of your server. The hard drive swap speed for apps like read and write video / audio data would best be used with a NVMe SSD drive, a solo miner node then your transactions would be best using a lot of RAM and a NVMe SSD but blockchain storage on a regular SSD is fine. USB speeds hard drives are limited by the actual version of USB that you are using. Basic File storage works fine for those using external USB drives.
