Boot Deployment Media USB 2.0 vs 3.0 ?

[DJ_Mo]

When creating Boot Deployment Media to a USB flash drive, is it better to use USB 2.0 vs 3.0 drive?  Will USB 3.0 drive get to the deployment GUI faster?

3.0 has a faster transfer rate than 2.0 does. Thus your image will deploy faster on 3.0.

The USB 3 will deploy the image much faster than the USB 2. 

 

We were originally using USB2 and images were taking 40-50 minutes to deploy. With USB3 it takes about 5-10 minutes now. It will vary depending on the quality of the USB.
