I've run Qubes 3.0rc1 and Qubes 3.2rc1 from an external USD hard drive (for about a month each). 3.0rc1 encountered kernel panics about once per day (which wasn't the case when run from an internal drive) and booted much slower than from an internal drive, but I didn't notice any obvious drive corruption from it. 3.2rc1 had no issues whatsoever and wasn't much slower than internal. I haven't tried any release of 3.1. So, my guess is that the issue you're encountering either was fixed between 3.1 and 3.2rc1 (and didn't seem to exist in 3.0rc1), or is in some way unique to your setup. Maybe a hardware issue?
