I noticed that the Supermicro X9SCL has a USB type-a port right on the
motherboard.

Has anyone used a port like this to boot the core OS and used the
physical drives for OpenVZ and KVM containers?  I figure a 64GB thumb
drive would work.  Anyone done this or will a USB thumb drive not
stand up too the load?  Seems much easier then using a SATA SSD drive
but I imagine you still have to find a more durable USB drive.
