I just bought this, we'll see how easy it is to setup. Do you still run raspian on it, or something else?

do you use a separate power for the sad? or just leave it plugged into the raspi?

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 year ago

No, it's a NVMe to USB-C enclosure, with a USB-A to C cable connecting it to the Pi. No external power.

I run ubuntu server on my RPi 4 with USB3 SSD. No issues so far, but needs a good PSU. Survived a blackout without an issue.

No separate power, the USB3 SSD has only one USB-C connector, and draws a maximum of 250 or 300 mA under load for its nearly one TB. As the USB port is rated for 500mA, I'm quite safe.
