Thanks a lot,
I don't think so or otherwise Whs had to not use a SSD and and a USB3 enclosure including cable. He can use SSD and USB cable only if only USB3 enclosure can protect the HDD/SSD.
For obvious reasons, the SSD works the best. Operations on the HDD will be slower. I have also tried a fast USB3 stick. But that was too slow. See performance section for details.
I found a $55 'value pack' -a SSD and a USB3 enclosure including cable. The 30GB SSD is large enough to accommodate Windows 8 or any Linux distro with room to spare.
