quick question..
these plug and play types can be used to install an OS, right?

Confused? The article says the Buffalo was the fastest, but it also says the Samsung was fastest, so gave the nod to the Samsung because it was also quiet and power efficient. The evidence seems to indicate the Buffalo was actually the fastest, so I guess it depends on what the individual user is looking for, speed or quiet.

Seems like either too much or too little caffeine here.

That depends on your system. If your BIOS support "booting from USB," then yes, you can install your OS from these drives. Dont worry. Just about any computer newer than 2005 will have this ability.

I have the Samsung SE-S084B. It boots my Asus 1000He Eee-PC no problem at all. It works good with 1 usb cable.
