Is this possible on Pine64+?
Does the speed on the USB (maybe with a 3.0 drive on 2.0 interface) is faster than MicroSD cards?
You can move rootfs to a USB 2.0 drive and use that - if its a decent drive then it ought to be considerably faster than an average SD card. As for uboot, to my knowledge it needs to sit on a SD or eMMC. I belive that Lenny wrote up a tutorial long time ago, but couldnt find it ... if someone digs it up then please link it below.
I am running tests with sysbench to choose the SD card i will use. I will try with USB too. Does the SD card have influence on system speed with rootfs on USB? Or can i use a very basic one (class4) because will be used just for /boot?
I made some CPU tests and is much faster than Raspberry Pi 3. More than 10 times! I am setting up a simple LAMP server.
