I have 2 of these, one for each host, that ESXi is installed on.

ESXi loads into memory after boot. Don’t waste an SSD for your boot drive.

I have not had this issue yet. I got a new usb drive about 2 weeks ago. No issues and I’ve never had to pause it when getting out of the car.
Here is the one I got...maybe it will be more reliable for someone as well.

Tried to keep my previous response preference free, but I ended up going with unRAID for my own setup for a couple reasons. The biggest reason was the real-time parity calculations across pooled storage. I didn't like the thought of having a window where newly written data wasn't parity-backed. And other solutions that offer that all involve stripping the data across disks, where in you lose access to all your data in the event that you have multiple disk failures. Because files stored entirely on a single disk in unRAID, if you lose more disks then your parity setup can handle, the data on your non-failed disks remains accessible. To me, that scenario was more likely then corruption due to bitrot that SnapRAID can help protect.
The other reason was ease of management. Everything just feels easier to setup and get running in unRAID over OMV. Dockers and VMs are treated as first-class citizens right beside your storage. And the community is really helpful. To me, that ease and community support was worth the cost of the $70 lifetime license that includes version upgrades. Also, while /u/yllanos thinks of using USB storage for the OS as not right, I believe the opposite: The OS requires so little space, so why would a take a significant of my usage disk space for it when I can just place it on cheap USB storage that's only really accessed at boot. It helps that we run a similar setup for our vsphere servers at work (SD cards for OS storage with no local disk). Ended up going with https://www.amazon.ca/SanDisk-32GB-Ultra-Flash-Drive/dp/B077VXV323/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1540845020&sr=8-11&keywords=SanDisk+ultrafit, as the small footprint means I don't need to worry about breaking the thing.
Since it sounds like you're building a new system for this, I'd say that you plan around testing a couple different solutions before you transfer all your "good" data. Do an install of OMV, and get a rudimentary setup going. Test things like replacing the disk and/or adding a new one. Get some shares going. Then wipe the setup, and try again on unRAID, using their 30-day free trial (that you can easily have extended an extra 30 days). Do the same thing, and see which you like better.
After trying a bunch of old flash drives, I finally settled on a couple of new name brand 32gb USB 3 drives from Amazon. One was $6, the other $9. I've had zero issues with these drives formatted in FAT32:

I ordered this due to its small footprint.

Hopefully! I know it's not an issue with filling up as I have a 32gb and I had 1 session saved to it before and after the reformat I hadn't saved anything yet.
What brands are your USB sticks? Maybe it's an issue with the brand.

If you use USB drives, I would get USB 3 drives. I don't even buy USB 2.0 drives anymore, because I've realized that I get much faster write speeds on the USB 3 drives, even when plugging them into USB 2.0 ports on computers. So I picked those Cruzers.
You can also use a SATA DOM device for FreeNAS. That would still use a SATA port, of course, but you wouldn't have to worry so much about the drive mounting, just the power feed.
If you don't use the optical drive, replacing it with a small SSD would probably be easiest for you. There was that other thread about mirroring FreeNAS on two dissimilar drives. So maybe mirror the SD card slot with an SSD?
