Can’t believe it took me a while to get boot from USB working.
System seems really fast now it is coming from a SATA SSD.
Although I hate the Pi 4 change in power supply and HDMI port, one of its redeeming qualities is the boot from USB (Pi 3B+ does it as well) and have UASP support which makes disks perform better via the USB3 port.
Also today I put together the first node for my cluster
From Amazon
- Raspberry Pi 4GB w/ heat sink 62.99
- PoE Hat 25.00
- Kingston 120GB SSD 24.99
- Adapter Cable 8.99
Total $121.97
Yikes, cheaper to get a thin client.
The MicroSD card was not needed because I will be booting from USB, but if you were keeping score it was 34.66
The PoE hat fits nicely.
As for the vaccine, I did feel terrible, didnt get much done today.
