It's also booted from the same type of stick to for an Ubuntu 13.10 Live trial. I've switched to Lexar USB 3.0 sticks for most of my stuff - even with USB 2.0 ports they are definitely faster, and appear to be pretty reliable.
Are you able to boot the USB 3.0 device from a USB 3.0 port though? That was the problem with the previous generation NUC and I believe Intel reported it was a design limitation with USB 3.0, at least for those models.
