Using Tails from a USB drive means:

• As a writeable medium, if the USB device is large enough you can configure a persistent volume (a section of the device on which you can store data, software, and configuration files). The Tails persistent volume is encrypted and passphrase-protected, so you can use it to safely store personal files and working documents, extra software you need to work with in Tails, custom configurations of your Tails system and application tools, and encryption keys.

• As a writeable medium, an attacker with physical access to the thumb drive could maliciously modify or remove key software, or introduce malware (virus or keylogging software), compromising your security.

• Tails installed to an SD data card or small USB drive is very portable and can be carried inconspicuously.

• Upgrading Tails on a USB drive is simple, even with persistent storage enabled, and the drive can be reused (unlike DVDs). However, it is recommended that you upgrade USB drives from a running version of the newest released Tails, which implies burning it to DVD in any case (not mandatory, but easier and recommended).

• Not all computers can be booted from USB devices.
