I run AudioPhile Edition entirely off a USB 2.0 drive. I have no latency issues whatsoever. I have my C:\ drive stripped to the bare bones (drivers and apps that area pain to re-install like (Pinnacle Video Editing.) I back up automatically every night with Acronis, so I can restore to any point any time even if malware kills my XP restore points (or service.) I have used a tiny "boot drive" for as ling as I remember, and never had a regret about the practice. I don;t care how long the backup takes, as I am asleep, but a full restore at 15 minutes makes my life easier.
