I am looking for a small (~16 GB), low power, high-endurance, 
solid-state storage device with a USB 1.0/1.1/2.0/3.0+ type-A plug, 
powered by a USB 1.0/1.1/2.0/3.0+ type-A receptacle, which is designed 
to be used as a system drive.  I would use it to install and run 
commercial and FOSS OS's (Windows, macOS, Debian and FreeBSD) on SBC's, 
laptops, tablets, desktops, workstations, servers, etc..


STFW most USB disk-on-module (DOM) devices are designed for a 
motherboard with 0.1" 10-pin connector, motherboard space, and 
motherboard threaded boss (for mounting screw);  e.g. server 
motherboards only.


STFW I found Cactus Technologies USB flash drives; but they are design 
for storage, not OS, and I was unable to find a retailer:

STFW I see the Buffalo SSD-PUT; I am unclear which USB standards it 
supports (I need USB 2.0 and 3.0):

As an alternative, StarTech makes two USB to sata adapter/ cables.  I 
need to do more search to see if my SSD's are compatible:
