Hey guys,

I was just wondering if it is possible to boot dietpi from a USB drive? I’ve been reading that this massively increases speed/performance of the Pi and would love to be able to do so with the already amazing Dietpi. Currently have a B+ as well as a Pi3 running Dietpi and would love to give the Pi3 even more performance power for Owncloud

I have a 128GB USB3 drive.

I hope you can help,

thanks,  
P
