On SSD or USB-stick?

Follow procedures from this site: https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/

Just do not use SD card but use SSD.

Worked for me.

[huber70]

@mariosipad

tried it with the 500gb (see pictures above) and two 256gb ssd with following result

No USB Stick used

[huber70]

@mariosipad

just to add: I used balenaetcher to install the OS on the SSDs - that worked fine with the micro-sd

[mariosipad]

@huber70

To be honest, I used balenaetcher as well.

Maybe the enclosure is not compatible? Don't know.

And if you try with a Usb stick? (No SSD)


The blue screen is OK!

The next screen not so much.

[huber70]

@mariosipad

as all ssds failed (prob due to enclosure?) I just started now with a 128gb stick - with success

Is that now an advantage to micro-sdcard? Considering that usb port 3 is blocked (1+2 are for keyboard and mouse)

[mariosipad]

@huber70

The second screen shows IO errors on 2 partitions /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 (the SSD).

Something is going wrong either writing with balena (but verified!) or reading on the Pi.

Strange..........

Do you have another enclosure (USB 3) for the SSD's to test?

[mariosipad]

@huber70

The advantages should be:
1 - bigger - more GB's (?)
2 - supposed to be better reading and writing speeds
3 - better at wear levelling - less likely to have bad sectors than a SD card

Always shutdown the Pi, never pull the power cord before disk activity has finished.

@huber70

You do not need more USB ports:
USB 2 2x for mouse and keyboard (buy a very cheap wireless keyboard/mouse combo with a dongle saves 1 port)
USB 3 2x for USB-stick. On port left for SSD or other SD stick.

You can always try VNC to you desktop, works surprisingly good.

@mariosipad

yes (though I don't own an electronic shop) - but both are SABRENT 3.0 Adapter

Due to your arguments (thanks therefore) I finally use the OS from the 128GB Stick

Now, I am again at the very first beginning - recommendation for the docker installation?

[mariosipad]

@huber70

Docker installation (either wired or wireless LAN needed):
Step 1 to 4 from this website will probably work: https://www.simplilearn.com/tutorial...20technologies.

[huber70]

@mariosipad

As far as I remember that's the same siteI used before - will keep you informed

[mariosipad]

@huber70

SSD enclosure: something like this worked for me https://www.amazon.de/UGREEN-Enclosu...zcF9hdGY&psc=1

Check out this website for your Sabrent SSD case: https://jamesachambers.com/fixing-st...mware-updates/

I do not know if this works / no guarantees ;-)

[mariosipad]

@huber70

....... something with great minds and thinking ........

[huber70]

@mariosipad

Thanks for all suggestions and recommendations you made - I am now tired after all those trials I made:

I could use the same UGREEN enclosure you took, I had one in stock and: the OS on it worked. Startup was very quick - but: something blocks my keyboard and the mouse as well, whatever I tried to use - all SSD together with keyboard and mouse failed

Another combination mouse/keyboard failed as well, even with a hub

I am back now with my 128gb stick, which works fine and I will keep it now .

I start now with the installation of docker

PS Never can use the add (Strg -Alt-Q)

[huber70]

@mariosipad

After installation - I did nothing at step 3 (correct?) step 4 shows:

xxxxx@raspberrypi:~ $ docker run hello-world
