[OmniOS-discuss] Install on (not from) USB-Stick

[Kai Meder]

Thank you,
do you think it's feasible to install OmniOS to a normal SanDisk 
MicroSDHC "Ultra" 16GB Class10 Card, via a normal MicroSDHC-USB Adapter?
My current installation takes only 6GB.

I am currently investigating whether their "Ultra"-series also support 
any Wear-Leveling of if it is a featureset only available to their top 
"Extreme" lines.

Is a modern Lexar/SanDisk USB3-stick >16GB OK as well or is SD to be 
preferred in principle?

Thanks
