I like that you left in the error. You handled that with a lot of class. Respect brother
Hi Chris. I like your videos, not only because how instructive they are, but because you added up good amount of humor. Keep up the good work! Thanks.
I thought this was very cool--I'm a subscriber for the Ubiquiti info mostly and just got my first Pi at Christmas so this was timely. I like seeing the "whoops" because it highlights how the little things can derail even the more seasoned folks. I'm glad you kept it in--nice to see you're secure enough in yourself to show the learning moments. I followed the video after watching it through first and I booted from an SSD on the first attempt. Thank you and love the channel.
Nice video and directions - now running my RP-4 on a 128 GB M.2 SSD in an Argon40 case. Thanks for sharing this.
I like that you left in the mistakes. I make mistakes all the time and it is actually a great learning experience if you allow yourself to learn from it..
Great video thanks for sharing also a PLUS for showing how easy it is to make mistake and a way to correct it
Came back again to this video, because I forgot to hit Like!. Thank you!
Thanks for this video, it was very useful and nice to see some-one else using the desktop. I have upgraded 3 * pi4's to SSD and only had one problem; this was with my MarinaDB system. I was already using a USB disk to store my data and when I booted from USB the system fell over with root account locked. The problem was in /etc/fstab, a second USB device name change. I therefore recommend removing any other USD devices during the changeover adding them back after the upgrade. This is easily done by '#' the lines out of /etc/fstab.
It is nice that you made the mistake so that when I am in this situation I do not have to do it.
Liked this video just for this reason.
Excellent guide. Thank you
Great video, good information! Thanks 🙏
Thank you, an extremely helpful video.
Thanks for sharing the mistakes. It's good to see what it looks like before I make that same mistakes. Lol.
Thanks for the video. I got my Pi preped for when I get my SSD. I am guessing when all done you should expand your file system so you can use all of the drive.
Thank you for the video, More Power sir..
if you ask me, videos with mistakes are a lot more valuable than videos that are done perfectly the first time every time.
also;
micro SD Card read: 44MB/s
SSD: 110MB/s
M.2 NVME SSD 347MB/s
Great video and inspiration Chris 👍 jumped the gun couple of weeks ago to integrate home assistant with a RPi4 4gb. Coming from a b+ (that's not the 2b 😉) it's a great little beast to use docker on.
Thanks for sharing!
2:40 - Not to be nitpicky, but M.2 is the form factor and NVMe or SATA is the protocol that is used. M.2 drives come in both NVMe and SATA.
so it's the M.2 SATA that is showing, correct? else the NVMe speed should be much higher if it's even supported (?)
@@biskero Keep in mind, there is also the limitation of the USB3.0. Using NVME over USB3.0 will not give you much benefit over an M.2 Sata SSD if any.
@@spr0k3t that's right. Saw few videos showing ~400/500 Mb/s depending on NVMe
So looking at the speeds you got with your "external USB SSD", are you sure you ment SSD for the first external drive? The speeds(especially after seeing, what is possible with the Sata M.2)look more like a HDD and you also link a hard drive in the description.
Other than that, thanks for the great explanatory video
Awesome thank you for sharing. I went from 42 MB / sec to 249.63 MB / sec
Thanks for the detailed video, Chris!
I got the same case - I fell in love with the m.2 sata ssd solution.
Your video helped a lot!
Hey Chris. M.2 is a form factor, there’s both SATA and nvme M.2 drives. So saying m.2 drive is incorrect if you’re trying to differentiate from an nvme, it’s SATA vs nvme.
❤
I stand corrected.
thank you very much
thanks Chris
The most informed and easy video on ssd booting of raspberry pi....but one question...will the pi take those extra 20 seconds to detect micro sd card every time it boots upm???
Thanks!
Can you do a video on the Unifi Switch Aggregation?
Ooh @ copying the sd card with the copier app. I GOTTA try that. I was just wondering if I can take my SD card that's already set up and running and copy it to a HD for a smooth transition to bigger storage.
I'm going to head to your blog and try this out. Just received my first pi and the case. Can't wait to install Manjaro 64 bit and see if it can replace my desktop lol
Yo . Could you run manjaro on ssd ?
"Raspbian OS" was retired when they launched the 8GB Raspberry Pi 4 Mobel B in May 2020. The OS is now Raspberry Pi OS - not to be confused with the Raspberry Pi Desktop OS (x86 version).
Raspbian sounded way better. They pulled a Crapple and fucked the name up 🙄
Thanks for the demo and info, bye bye Grammy Pictures! Have a great day
hi sir, can u try to boot also in opi one? thanks
in order to prepare the drive, do i need to make a clone of microSD card onto a drive, or can i make a new image using raspberry imager and choose the drive? anyway, what is better method? or maybe there are no differences between them?
Wil this work on a Raspberry Pi 3? Great videos, thanks!
Amazing..!!!
Looks like (from the performance and Amazon link both) the Seagate 2TB drive is a regular HDD, not an SSD, which would explain the speed difference. An external SSD would be much faster than the 108MB/sec- but that performance is in line with a 2TB HDD.
If it was your standard non-NVME external SSD it would have been virtually the same performance as the M.2 SATA SSD, as they both would be SATA, just in different form factors.
Regular SSD and M.2 SSD (not nvme) use the same protocol SATA3 (MAX about 600MB) so speed difference between ssd and m.2 here is because the disks not because the interface (SSD vs. M.2 SSD), isn't it?
Hello. I got to start by saying Thank You! for such an amazing video. I was able to follow through every step of the way, but at the end when removing the SD Card and just booting off the SSD. I get this message. mmc1: controller never released inhibit bit(s) Any suggestions? Thank you in advance for any assistance.
Unifi launched a wifi 6 ap lite today. Are you going to review it?
Q: That's a slow SSD compared to what I'm used to on my SSDs, which are roughly about 550 MB/S R/W (when not using RAM caching, like Samsung rapid mode). Would the limiting factor be the USB 3 connection at that point?
Edit: Using the same CL test as you in Manjaro I'm getting 536 and 524 MB/S on a couple of my SSDs over SATA.
Does any know if the Silicon 512gb M.2 will fit in the same SSK enclosure?
home you can tutor us also how to boot on ssd in orange pi pc. thanks
hey great video i have the same error about eeprom bin file not found . i did all the update , upgrade , and full-upgrade , check the eeprom version 2020-10-28 but still not able to go through the raspi-config configuration and when select usb boot same error back about eprom
NVMe drives are M.2 M.2 also come in SATA 3
Your videos are awesome …. I want to ask a question: I have a raspian os 32b version with pihole in, can I copy all with sd copier on an ssd M.2 key-B, and it work then?
Nice...
Excellent. On my desktop, I don't have the "SYSTEM TOOLS". How can configure this?
Can we use raspbian lite for ssd . Any extra steps for booting from ssd ?
Why does this method not require the command "sudo rpi-eeprom-update -d -a"? Is it because the latest bootloader incorporates that upgrade already?
Liked and subscribed to the channel. Thanks.
TRIM support may not work over usb.
How would you set this up in a YAML playbook? I'd like to do this on 8 Pi's
hello, what is the name of the portable monitor? how much does it cost n where to get it please?
All I did was update the Raspberry PI Software and use the SD Card Copier to copy the system to the M.2 SSD drive and change the boot loading options in the raspi-config file. Then shut down and removed the SD Card and re-started the PI again. It booted directly from the M.2 SSD then.
Nice
Hello thank you so much for the video.
Would you also be so kind to explain or even better, create a video explaining, how we can use an SSD with ext4 (or NTFS) file format to boot and install OS on?
As far as I know the imager currently converts the main boot partition to FAT32. I also notice that the SD CARD COPIER also doesn't give any option for file format.
Is there a way to flash OS drives with in Raspberry Pi OS with and option to select file format?
I really would like to set my "first" pi on an SSD which is using ext4 (or NTFS or at least ExFat at the very least). I would like to install the OS on an ext4 drive and boot from it for the most resilient setup, before I even delve into the Pi world wormhole.
And perhaps you can also do a video of benchmarking FAT32 vs Ext4 etc?
Would really appreciate any comment, help or guidance from you.
Also can you do a Raspberry Pi Unifi controller install vid.. Please..!
He did this: ruclips.net/video/XIn-39o0g2M/видео.html
I can recomend this as a solution having been running the Unifi controller on a 3b (not plus) for over 2 years with zero problems. It's on 24x7 and hasn't missed a beat. I do, though, set the autobackup location to my NAS just in case (when?) the SD card fails.
Will this work on a RASP 3B+ using newest image?
I get the new Order of items in the Config program but the usb Items (5 & 6) do not appear. The new drive is recognised under Gparted as unpartitioned
Is there a way to have it boot off the m.2, but leave the SD in as a backup (with pi os still on)
Either I'm totally blind or the affiliate-link for the argon case is missing. Please add, I'd love to put your link on my Christmas wish-list :P
The Argon Link is in the referenced BLOG -- unlike the other hardware, Amazon does not yet appear to have it available. It's present on the Manufacturer's Website (as well as the bottom only, if you already have the top case) www.argon40.com/argon-one-m-2-case-for-raspberry-pi-4.html -- Enjoy!
@@timrobertson8242 I have ordered 2 a couple weeks ago and they are still in Hong Kong according to the tracking so shipping from argon is not the fastest thing ever, just something to keep in mind
@@timrobertson8242 Oh, they are already on German amazon so I just assumed they had it in the US too... Thanks!
Not an affiliate link, but they are available on teh Azamons: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08MJ3CSW7 . I got a couple of these a few months back and love em.
@@spr0k3t ohh well i wish i would have seen this before I ordered from their site. i am still waiting on them....
hello sir raspberry pi work on 5v 2.4 amp adapter
Did the copy from SD card to the USB drive (gosh, that Argon M.2 case is nice)... but it looks like the copy copied the disk identifier; I had to go into the extra fdisk commands to change that.
Output from rpi-eeprom-config shows BOOT_ORDER=0xf14, and since you read from the least significant hex digit up, that means try USB first, then SD, and repeat if both fail.... but rebooting boots from the SD. If I pull the SD and boot, it stops with the message "mmc1 controller never released inhibit bits"" on the screen. Any suggestions?
Hello, if i would liké return boot from sd card , how make it
is it possible to boot a non-pi os drive? i want to run lineage os from a USB hdd.
bought Raspberry Pi 4 and or bought m.2 from 256gb and case for m.2 from orico but when the Raspberry starts with m.2 it is not detected you have to unplug it from the USB port and reattach it solution
How to revert back to microsd boot?
I have done the install in video several times and the ssd isn"t recognized unless I remove bridge and re-install. Then the ssd boots fine. I am using Jan distro. What am I doing wrong???
Where did you buy that HDMI monitor, how much does it cost and can it be run from a powerbank (so I can use it on the train)?
www.amazon.com/Raspberry-Pi-Screen-Capacitive-1024x600/dp/B07QLMBGZC/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=7+inch+pi+HDMI+monitor&qid=1607298307&s=electronics&sr=1-6
Usb monitors exist for about 5+ years at least, use a tablet though!
i have done this recently with raspberry OS 32bit and in raspi-config i have no boot options. and no not under advance settings either
Just did this with an rPi 8GB using the external M.2 SSD. First boot without SD card failed; got message to insert SD card. Turned out, had to do one final step. Rebooted with SD card, started rasp-config, advanced->bootloader version; select use latest version boot ROM software. After that, reboot without an SD card worked fine.
So I'm trying to do this in Oct 2021 and after updates and upgrades I still get the a NO EEPROM Bin File Found error. It's driving me nuts. I haven't found any instructions on how to fix the issue.
aqlltime come after unalloicated partition gparted ok but sd card copier say ewerytime could not mount partition. same this doing ewery usb memory or sd card. and not show 256gb usb stick or 128gb stick not can format and use.
The whole install to Micro SD card first is an unnecessary step. Just connect the USB3 drive to the computer you are flashing the OS image from. It will show up under 'Choose SD Card' in Raspberry Pi Imager and just write directly to the USB drive.
Glad I wasn't the only one thinking the SD card wasn't needed.
I did the same as you and it worked like a charm. No need to go via the SD card first.
@@mannhansen9337 How did you get the RPi to ignore the SD card boot? New RPi4 stops when it can't find a card.
@@dude8869 I removed the SD card and boot from USB directly. Remember to upgrade RPi EEPROM , better support for USB boot.
Now I have 5 RPi 4, 4 of them booting from Sandisk 64 Gb and 1 on Segate 1 TB harddisk in metal casing with USB 3.
Only Sandisk work properly, avoid Kingston USB sticks, they have boot problems.Also managed to boot from Voyager 128Gb, only one tested so far.OK and fast.
So does it look for the microSD every time? If its gonna take 20 seconds to time out every boot that seems like a downgrade......or is the intent for faster app loading and general hd use?
I don't follow how that would be considered a downgrade. Don't forget, it's not just faster boot time, the whole OS will be more responsive when running, because any disk access is at the speed of the USB-attached SSD/M.2. So even if there was a timeout looking for a non-existent SD card, I'd take that for the increase performance when running.
It's 20 or so seconds to boot to the desktop environment... not to find the USB boot. The actual time to move from SDCard to USB bootable is approximately 3 seconds. The SDCard will take priority over USB if you have a bootable SDCard installed.
Does the Argon case work with M.2 and PoE at the same time?
No it won't. I have the ArgonOne case and there is a heat sink and fan inside the case that keeps the POE hat (or pretty much all other hats) from fitting in the case. Perhaps the next revision of the ArgonOne could provide something like that.
Get PoE splitter from Amazon for $14 but yeah no PoE hat will fit this case.
Time 15:08 BEST PART :D
okay... booting from USB is cool... how about network boot? running multiple OS' from netboot? :D
Raspberry pis have supported netboot for a long time. Add a power over ethernet hat and you don’t even need a wall wart.
Changing what OS is netbooted is literally changing a symlink or renaming a directory on your netboot box. It’s faster than swapping and cards or usb drives.
I've got a stack of 4 x Pi-4's that I'd like to try and boot from an m.2 drive. I'm thinking along the lines of booting one from the m.2 to act as the controller and have it run additional software to act as a PXE Server to support network booting of the other 3 Pi's. Then as final step, have the controller share access to the m.2 drive with the other 3 Pi's. Anyone have any guidance on suitable software I can run on the controller Pi to allow it to act as a PXE Server?
FYI - The Pi stack has a 5-port Switch at the bottom, with all 4 Pis plugged into it - which ensures that the 3 PXE-booting Pis should be able to see the controller.
Appreciate the m.2 drives are even faster than ssd but as both go via a USB3 how come the former is so much faster? In a conventional computer connection would be via a motherboard bus. Know USB3 is fast but didnt think it could handle SSDs at full speed.
What SATA to USB 3.0 adapter you use makes all the difference in the world. Lots of info on the internet about this.
I get a "mmc1: Controller never released inhibit bit(s)" and a series of errors after that on the boot screen when starting up from the created SSD drive using
Raspberry Pi 400
SAMSUNG 870 EVO 500GB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-77E500B/AM)
Sabrent USB 3.0 to SSD / 2.5-Inch SATA I/II/III Hard Drive Adapter (EC-SSHD)
Any idea why this happens and what to do about it?
I followed this video exactly using a Samsung EVO 980 500G. I was getting the rainbow boot screen when using the 3.1 USB slot but was able to boot from the 2.0 slot.
Is there a way to enable this from the 3.1 slot?
Well I moved it back over to the 3.1 cause the 2.0 started failing and it now works. better.
sudo apt-update gives me command not found.
I can't boot my Kali linux (I need amd64 and not arm) from my HD on raspberry 4 via USB.
Does it come with raspi OS?
Hi Criss, thanks for all your instructive videos. I have a raspberry pi 4 8gb running as my Unifi Controller and I would upgrade to last software but I cannot find a simple and easy way to do it. Could you please help with this. Thanks in advance
@@klumiklima940 thank you very much Sir 👍🏿, this guide looks nice, will try it .
Nice write-up. Unfortunately I can't seem to get it to work. I have a new Raspberry Pi -4 and I went through the entire process but when I try to reboot without the SD card, the pi just sits on a screen waiting for an SD card to be inserted. Is there anything else I need to do to the Pi to enable it to boot from SSD?
Looks the same for me... :/ I also did some additional steps with eeprom-update and i still can't manage. I guess I will try it with a USB stick to see if the actual drive/enclosure is to blame.
After swapping my SanDisk 240GB SSD (running in an ADATA ED600 enclosure) for a Kingston 16GB USB containing a Windows-burned fresh install (+ SSH file added), works like a charm. I'll have to see if the enclosure is to blame, or something else... Maybe it's something to do with TRIM support mentioned by another commenter fellow around here.
I went thru the process several times, the sata drive isn't recognized. I have tried a Kingston and SD neither recognized. I connected it to my mac with a usb/usb cable and is recognized and will format??? They are M.2 2280 sata III drives???
256gb M.2 when I boot Raspberry Pi 4 M.2 does not detect what I can do to make M.2 boot Raspberry Pi 4 visible.
Where can I buy that shirt? The Pi stuff is cool too ;)
M.2 is the form factor. You can get both NVME and SSD in that form factor. Of course I just bought a NVME drive to do this, lol.
If your not using raspberry pi os and want to easily write an image to the ssd just plug the sdd into your desktop and write the image from there. make sure to setup boot from usb
After starting to boot from an SSD (WD Green 120GB) I am receiving a kind of error line on post screen like "controller never released inhibit bit(s)" but pi manages to boot. Does anyone have this error and/or know how to remove it?
Can I boot it from usb 3.1?
Is the "blog post" the "Written instructions: crosstalksolutions.com/raspbe..."?
what about multi
🤣 His face when the error showed up is soo me
Now The respberry pi latest version come with inbuild support for usb or sdcard hust copy the image to usb drive and enable the usb boot through config-respi. Its done . Thanks for tutorial anyway.
When clone SD card to SSD have error "drivers changed copy aborted" . Cancel when create 2 partition. SSD is ok unalocated Firmware is from 6 july 2021. eeprom is update, How to fix this?
did you purposefully say "disk"claimer or was that an accident?
Have you ever thought of making a Pi-Hole setup and implementation in UniFi. Thanks for the great vids.
I have the Unifi controller and PiHole running on the same RPi. The only problems I have is that Pihole blocks somethings I don't want blocked, but it is all working according to plane.
After hitting enter on usb boot. I get an error message "No EEPROM bin file found for version 2021-02-16 - aborting." How can I fix this? Thank you
Just ordered first pi
@Scott Luthershame i had no clue pi exsisted. I want a 0 now. Im hooked without 1 yet. this thing is frkin cool. Going to have too put on thinking cap to learn this stuff
The biggest problem you were gonna face is how to place pi in a pi case😂
Believe me😂
In my first time.. I was too scared of that I might damage my pi.
But everything went well 😂
