Installing an operating system onto a USB drive can be a convenient way to try Qubes.
However, USB drives are typically much slower than internal SSDs.
We recommend a very fast USB 3.0 drive for decent performance.
Please note that a minimum storage of 32 GiB is required.
If you want to install Qubes OS onto a USB drive, just select the USB device as the target installation device.
Bear in mind that the installation process is likely to take longer than it would on an internal storage device.
