I’ve been using some cheap flash drives for things like installing OSs and the like, but now I’ve picked up a Dell Wyse 3040 system to play with which only has 8gb of storage. So I’m installing the OS onto a flash drive permanently (don’t worry, just for messing with, nothing of value will be lost if/when the drive craps out).
However, the performance of my cheap flash drive is terrible and installing packages & transferring files is so slow. My question is: Would getting a better drive make a meaningful difference here? If so, anyone have some recommendations of drives they like that are fast?

There are some fancy ones with SSD-features like wear leveling, though i don’t know which.
But why not a NVME USB enclosure?
Thumbdrive as main disk does work, but once i trashed a SD-card-as-home with compiling something, i gave up on the idea.
