Was wondering if it is possible to attach a USB 3 HD and have Windows 8 or 7 on it and use it to boot from? Think I read something that Windows wasn't able to boot from a external USB HD.

As USB 3 HD are so cheap these days, it would be perfect. The speed should be enough. Bought a 2TB USB 3 external drive for 90 euro. Speed is good also, around 120 write and read.
