I own a speedy usb 3.0 flash drive and would like to use it as the cache drive for one of my cloud drives. The software limits me to only using internal drives. While I understand that this is so that someone doesn't just yank out the flash drive while in operation and corrupt the cloud drive, my use case would be that the drive stays mounted as it was cheaper than buying a full on internal ssd drive. Is there anyway to bypass this limitation.
My internal hdd gives me less than 5-10mb/s read/write at the best while my flash drive gives me 70-120mb/s read/write.
I am not interested in spending another $100 just just use it as an internal drive because of a software limitation.
