I'd be curious to know if anyone else reading has seen issues with USB keys outside of HP gear. Yes, I have to agree with you based on that article.

Not a problem with USB memory keys in general. This reads like a problem specific to their servers – locations of components relative to each other – and one 4GB memory key.

ESXi doesn't include the Console VM so the "attack surface" is very diminished. This means fewer components to update with patches and generally a "thinner" experience. This conceivably results in greater uptime. There's another benefit of the use USB thumb drives and SD cards instead of disk drives, although it's more of a benefit of ESXi vs ESX.
