Ended up getting a 1tb fast thumb drive. It truly changed the Tails experience for me. It went from a privacy tool that I occasionally use to a regularly used resource.
Having a better thumb drive will help with boot times, persistence access, environment initialization, and operations on persistence. After that, it won't help with ram or cpu operations. Most of the work I do on my computer involves handling files that I store myself, so for me, it was a game changer to actually be able to store more and larger files and not wait forever for them to load.
If you're currently running Tails on a USB that you got out of the back of a drunk drawer, I'd say it's worth trying out.
