Hi everyone. I'm curious about how the installation speed changes when using a faster pen drive versus a slower one, especially when connected via a USB 3.0 port. If I have a slow drive like the Kingston Data Traveler 100 G3 or Exodia, and a fast one like the Kingston Data Traveler Max, which is plugged into a USB 3.0 port, will the installation be quicker with the faster drive?

Yes, it will process quicker, though the improvement is minimal.

It wouldn't be a good idea to copy all ISO files onto a USB pen drive for speed. However, checking the read speeds of both drives beforehand could reveal a significant difference.

You could transfer files during setup, perhaps speeding things up by a few minutes at most. However, this doesn't really affect the overall time it takes for Windows to handle those files afterward.
