This is not possible. Unraid uses the USB drive GUID for licensing. You cannot use a SD card instead. 1 hour ago, cracyfloyd said: because the stick is very slow Unraid is unpacked from the USB in the RAM at startup. After that, Unraid rarely access the USB and when it does, the amount of data read or written is quite limited. I am not sure when the USB speed is an issue. Many of us use USB2.0 stick with no negative impact.

Yes i agree you, only at boot time. and i think that was important for me, because i have the a new system build and boot the system some times more that i do in future when its stable running. Maybe you have right that this is not important. thnx.

Yeah, once it's running no need to reboot frequently. I seldom reboot, typical uptime is months between, and then only when forced by environment or critical upgrade.
