If you plan to install FreeNAS on a USB pendrive you can’t use that same drive to boot from (you will need two USB drives).At least 8GB of RAM ( ECC is preferred although not strictly required).Select the Boot FreeNAS Installer option and press Enter. To install FreeNAS on a USB, SSD, or HDD, use these steps: Start your device with the FreeNAS USB install media. In order to install Corral successfully you will need: In order to install FreeNAS on a free PC, you need to make sure the USB drive is. From my tests, unlike FreeNAS 9, attempting to use 4GB will heavily affect performance and should be avoided. FreeNAS Corral has a suggested minimum 8GB of memory. You should use ECC memory using non-ECC memory is a potential threat to your data and should be avoided.
If you just want to start learning about the *nix world I suggest you start here or here. This guide is not intended for newbies, FreeNAS is a little more complicated than usual Linux distributions. Granted you won't be moving lots of data at once on your system drive, but I think the issue here was queue depth on the USB stick, it just didn't like multiple requests at the same time.I take absolutely NO responsibility of what you do with your machine use this tutorial as a guide and remember you can possibly cause data loss if you touch things carelessly. The other day I was listening to music and then also converting WAV to FLAC and then moving the WAV and FLAC files to different folders and holy cow the USB stick came to a crawl. It will often interrupt the music and sometimes it just sits there for 5-10 seconds seemingly doing nothing. I have pretty good quality Samsung 128GB USB3 flash drive that I use to manage new music on and it has a really hard time playing music AND modifying tags on lots of songs at the same time. But you might be better of using something like a PCI 2.5" disk holder ( Example 1 Example 2 Example 3) or getting a PCI SATA expansion card with external SATA connections and just having an external SATA drive (there is "normal" SATA and eSATA, so watch out for the external connections). Now you could stick a real harddrive in a USB enclosure and probably be ok (though the USB protocol itself can be flaky).
USB flash drives have all kinds of data consistancy problems that usually aren't noticable when accessed here and there, but for something that could be accessing repeatedly all day, I wouldn't trust it. I wouldn't run anything data critical on a USB Flash Drive (since you said "stick").
