I will just share my experience with a usb stick.

I have used a usb stick (SanDisk Ultra Fit) for the Freenas O.S.. That drive died in 6 months (24/7). In general Freenas suggests to use 2 mirrored, quality, name-brand USB drives as they can `wear out or fail unexpectedly`[1]. They not suggest USB drives for data storage and I never tried.
