Hey all.
I need to buy a USB-C stick or a dual USB-C & USB A stick.
The question is about the USB-C case (the faster) :
Is Win RE and/or Win PE compatible with the USB-C sticks ? (i mean they could boot the PC)
E.g Adata's UE800 USB-C supports up to 1000MB/s speeds , while the dual sticks go up to 200.
Thanks.😊

USB-C sticks are treated by Windows exactly the same as a USB-A based stick. As far as Windows is concerned, they are both external storage devices and operation is exactly the same for both.

In summary, yes, a USB-C stick will work exactly the same. There is no difference to Windows other than the connector type.

    The five 8TB drives and three 512GB SSDs are part of a DrivePool using StableBit DrivePool software. The three SSDs are devoted purely to caching for the 8TB drives. All of the important data is stored in triplicate so that I can withstand simultaneous failure of 2 disks.
