Now that we know the UUID of the SSD and we have a directory to mount it to, we can now set up auto mount for every time we boot our Pi.A new version of this series has been published. Sudo chmod a+rwx /home/pi/myssd/ Set up Automatic SSD Mounting In a new terminal window enter the following command to make a new directory called 'myssd': We also need to create a directory to mount the SSD to (this is where you'll access your SSDs files).įor ease, we're going to make a new directory in the usual /home/pi/ folder. Make a note of the long number in the UUID field - that's your SSD's UUID! We copied and pasted it into a text editor. The label field can help you identify your SSD too as you set the label earlier. You're looking for devices on 'sda' or 'sdb'. Open a new terminal window and type in the following commands and press Enter after each: Once you have Raspberry Pi OS installed you'll want to make sure it's all up to date.
You can install Raspberry Pi OS on to a micro-SD card using the super-simple Raspberry Pi Imager software - or grab one of our pre-formatted micro-SD cards for convenience. Install Raspberry Pi OSĪs with all projects, you should make sure you're using the most recent Raspberry Pi OS and also ensure this is fully updated. * A word on USB SATA cables - they're not all equal when it comes to Raspberry Pi compatibility! We tested lots (as many just didn't work properly) before choosing the cable we supply. A working Raspberry Pi setup connected to the internet (a starter kit is a great way to grab everything you need).Luckily this guide will show you how to do all of those things - let's get started! You will need We also need to tell the Pi to automatically mount the drive when it boots. New drives need to have partition tables and partitions created, and these need to be 'mounted' to be able to use them. The Raspberry Pi OS is a Linux-based operating system, so plugging in USB 'things' isn't always as plug n' play as Windows. So you've got yourself a Raspberry Pi 4, a shiny new SSD and one of our SSD adapter cables - now you need to get it all set up!
