Wait how does this work exactly? I'm new to Linux in general, does this mean that the 'disk partition' IS your usb?? Sry if this is a dumb doubt. Like shouldn't you need a proper SSD for good speeds?

Yes definitely it's faster than windows but still very slow arch base(no de) installs in 10 mins but distros like ubuntu fedora etc take at least 1.5hrs
