NOOBS @ raspberrypi.org now supports USB drive install!

Hi, we worked with the RPi Foundation to integrate “USB drive awareness” in their official NOOBS releases. If a USB drive is connected when running the NOOBS installer, it presents the option to designate the USB drive as the installation target device (it’ll show up as “sda…” if you have one USB drive attached, for example). Installing on the USB drive versus SDcard provides more space and typically faster writes and better protection against power-loss events (at least this is the case with WD PiDrives).

Here’s the NOOBS download location:
