btrfs mount -o ssd_spread

I'm pretty sure you already use this option but I thought I'd check... do you?

This should speed up USB pendrive access depending on the controller used in the pen drive.

Re: Best USB stick for Joggler?

Can the Joggler provide enough juice via USB to power a 2.5" bus powered drive?

I've can easily get my hands on old Iomega Prestige or WD Passport Essentials USB2.0 drives (I work as a member of the team which designed them and now we are all USB3.0 so there are loads in a cupboard somewhere)

Best USB stick for Joggler?

Is it worth considering an expensive but killer fast Corsair GTR Voyager??

Or perhaps a cheap USB3 one (of course working in USB2.0 mode)

Are there any decent (read fast) micro ones which do not extrude too far?
