However, if the data on the movie part is not critical, then go for it.

In reality, if you have a good SD card, then you should keep xbian on the SD card, and keep your movies on the USB.

Problem solved.

thank you for your insight. i read somewhere that xbmc would run faster from class 10 usb drive vs microsd. however i may try your way as it seems less complicated. thank you sir.
