New: Raspberry OS now natively supports USB/SSD boot!
Enough is enough! I waited for more than half a year to boot my new Raspberry Pi 4 from SSD to increase its speed and reduce the chance of losing my valuable data. Today we will change that. Without the help of the Raspberry project team. All we need is know-how, a little bit of time, and an old SD card.
I am a proud Patreon of GreatScott!, Electroboom, Electronoobs, EEVblog, and others.
