Xbox – Are there downsides to saving the XBOX Live profile to USB

xbox-360

I usually play from two consoles and recovering my profile for each one is quite annoying and slow. Since Microsoft enabled USB storage I would like to save my profile in a pen drive to avoid these recoveries.

Is there any kind of slowdown due to USB access?
Do you lose your profile if the USB data becomes corrupt?
If you have tried it, do you recommend it?

I have my profile stored on a USB flash drive and I have not noticed any slowdowns due to this. I also use it to move my profile easily between my xbox and a friend's xbox without needing an expensive memory unit. I recommend it.
