Not really. Once the OS is loaded into RAM the USB stick mostly sits idle unless you're accessing files on the boot stick. There isn't any additional perk that I'm aware of.

Hello, I am wondering if moving from a USB 2.0 Stick to a USB 3.0 Stick for my FreeNAS OS boot drive will help outside of just faster booting. Thanks.
