SSD or flash drive?

Will storing my roms on an SSD increase any performance on the more difficult systems to emulate such as dreamcast and n64? I'm out of space and debating on whether I should just buy a bigger thumb drive or upgrade to an SSD. I recently upgraded my desktop to SSD and it made an incredible difference in performance.

Thoughts?

I tried a ssd on a sata to usb 3.0 adapter on android emulators firstly then batocera and noticed a read delay freeze every so many seconds on roms for psx and psp, only a split second pause but noticible. I tried a usb 3.0 flash drive and the delay has gone.

Did the 3.0 flash drive make much of a difference over a 2.0 drive?
