If you'll look at the above post again, it does specify USB 3.0.
Still, even running from USB 2.0 PC, the calibrePortable install on the external SSD is faster than a local install on a SATA3 Seagate 250GB HDD. I run multiple virtual machines from the external drives so an SSD was a must if I didn't want my system freezing every few minutes. Improved calibre performance was just a bonus.
Really OT:

I kinda do, too. Alas, with my propensity for high heat, ultra-small form factor builds, the "dropping" part happens more frequently than I'd like. Most computers in the house were actually built in 2007-2009. I had one build in 2011 (Zacate E-350 nettop) which overheated and got replaced recently. I've also two builds from 2007 fail about 1~2 months ago (fried MB: practically free ECS boards from Fry's MB+CPU combos) that really need to be replaced soon (mom's and dad's and they've been complaining already) probably with either Sandy or Ivy Bridge.
