Have you ever tested for Better Performance when using a USB drive for writing a large multi-GB file so see if it really helps? I can see it helping on lots of small files but not so much for a large file. This was a problem on SSDs - great performance until the caches got filled and then it was back to the device's native write speed.
I don't have a dog in the fight, I'd sooner be a bit slower but with less chance, albeit small, of corruption.
