Is this drive compatible to use to install OSX externally? Might be a useful alternative to those super expensive SSD upgrades that Apple offers.

Wonder if this is any better than a USB flash drive, available for the same capacity as well as up to 1 TB storage.
Also, is this USB 3.0?
Yes, it's USB 3.0.
