On Windows, I used to work off of a usb thumb drive for portability. My Logitech mouse, and whole system would randomly dramatically slow down. Moved to Linux Mint. Working off the hard drive I had no problems. I needed some data off that thumb drive yesterday, and fifteen minutes after I plugged it in, random slowdowns just like on my Windows machine. Not going to lie, on Windows, I always blamed it on the Logitech mouse.
