I'm running my Raspberry Pi 4 from it, and I'm quite happy. Note that you can't BOOT the pi from it, but you can have the next best thing.... You can run your RPi from it, but you do have to do the initial boot from the SDCard. Once booted, though, all the disk access is on the SDCard. A couple of things to be aware of: 1) This drive is a 4k sector drive. This means just burning an sdcard image with RPI Imager or Win32 disk imager WILL FAIL. They seem to expect 512 byte blocks. It just writes a corrupted filesystem to the drive. 2) It works fine after boot. 3) I tried everything I could think of, but the RPI4 will NOT boot from this device for some reason. 4) Not all is lost - you can move your / filesystem to the SSD and gain the speed and durability advantages. You will have to book from the sdcard, however. I tried every way possible to boot from it, but could not get it to work. I even manually created a FAT32 boot partition and a copy of a root ext4 filesystem by hand, and it would not boot. Here's how I got it to work. Steps taken on the Raspberry Pi: delete original partition on the SSD and create new ext4 partition with gparted (gparted usually needs to be installed) mount the SSD ext4 partition (I used /mnt/target) copy the current OS partition to the newly created on on the SSD. (I used "sudo rsync -axv / /mnt/target"). This takes about 5 minutes on my pi4B get the PARTUUID of the SSD ext 4 partition you just copied. (I used "sudo blkid" and found the PARTUUID for the partion on /dev/sda) backup /boot/cmdline.txt to cmdline.sd edit the /boot/cmdline.txt, replacing the PARTUUID with the one you just found for the partition you created on /dev/sdaX edit the fstab **ON THE SSD** and replace the PARTUUID for / with the SSID you just put in cmdline.txt. (I used "sudo vi /mnt/target/etc/fstab") Don't edit the regular /dev/fstab! Because of the change above, it will never bee seen. Again! Edit the fstab ON THE SSD filesystem you just created. reboot. You can confirm the device is running on the new SSD by using "findmnt -o -n SOURCE /" and it should show a partition on /dev/sda Has been running OK for me for a while.

Justo lo que yo queria ### ⭐ Review *by M***. on 17 March 2021* It isn’t as fast as advertised, the size of the device is good and the size of the hard drive are fine, as advertised. It worked mediocrely for maybe two months and now it is useless. My computer will not recognize the device, no matter what I do to reformat it or get it to reset and work it will not work. I wish I had sent it back when I had time. ## Frequently Bought Together - JOIOT 250GB Portable External SSD,Portable SSD USB 3.2 Type C Ultra-Light External Solid State Drive, Mini Portable Solid State Drive for Mac Windows Android Linux(250GB) - Samsung T7 Portable SSD, 1TB External Solid State Drive, Speeds Up to 1,050MB/s, USB 3.2 Gen 2, Reliable Storage for Gaming, Students, Professionals, MU-PC1T0T/AM, Gray --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/284170998-250gb-portable-external-ssd-portable-ssd-usb-3-2-type](https://www.desertcart.es/products/284170998-250gb-portable-external-ssd-portable-ssd-usb-3-2-type) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
