And discovered that USB boot on the Pi5 is better than microSD. And the difference between the Pi5 and NUC is much smaller, with the NUC now slightly ahead!

And, I wonder if NVMe boot is better than USB?

Maybe @hkphantomgtr can answer this?

I DO boot from USB in one of my Pi5 as I've killed its SD card slot accidentally.  Maybe due to psychological influence, I found when a Pi5 with a USB receiver for keyboard, or USB card SD card for boot, the USB output (to DAC) can't produce good sound.

And for NVMe, I didn't boot from it yet, as my NVMe hat got 1 slot only.  And I always separate the OS and music library in 2 physical drive as cloning 2T music files takes 6-7 hrs thru my 1000M intranet.

If @uglymusic doesn't mind, may I know why you don't want to use sd card to boot?  Or are you planning to put OS and music library in the same drive？
