A valuable purchase, some advantages!

I wanted to make a system external drive at work.
Neither the BIOS in the MBR, nor the UEFI in the GPT of the Win7x64 and Win8x64 bootloader are seen and loaded. I wrote down an image from a working system disk to the SSD via Acronis (different versions) - it does not see the bootloader, I wrote down the Win7x64 and Win8x64 installation packages - it starts to load (unpack) and freezes. I studied all the forums, tips (Paragon. Migrate. OS programs, etc. ) for booting via external USB 3.0, formatted the SSD in different NTFS, EXT3 formats - nothing helped. The problem is the lack of support (pre-installed drivers in Win7x64 and Win8x64) USB 3.0 at the BIOS and UEFI levels. And working through USB 2.0 does not make sense.
Passed after 12 days of torment.

Pros

Connected to the system unit GB-BX3iH-5010 has 4 USB3.0 sockets. As an external drive, it fits perfectly - fast, light, durable, does not heat up, meets the declared characteristics.

Cons

It is impossible to make an external system disk. Neither BIOS in MBR, nor UEFI in GPT bootloader Win7x64 and Win8x64 see it and boot via external USB 3.0,
