- Speed improvements
- Stability

A big problem when using a SD card as OS-disk, is that there is no monitoring if the SD cards is being accessed or written to. If in these case the power get interrupted or a user performs a reboot, the state of the files become unknown, as the dirty flag is set. The Pi won't boot from it as it has no idea what happened to the file.

I was aware of that SD problem and I did frequent backups.   So...that isn't an issue with a USB SSD dive?   I was wondering how I'm going to back up the 1TB

- Then you can copy the complete content of the SD to a USB drive, as shown in the screenshots
- shutdown the rPi
- Remove the SD
- Boot the rPi

It should boot form the USB disk, and no settings etc lost.

So the short answer to your question..... No and Yes

It didn't work.   I had the following after the rpi-update command

WARNING: This update bumps to rpi-5.10.y linux tree
See: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=288234
'rpi-update' should only be used if there is a specific
reason to do so - for example, a request by a Raspberry Pi
engineer or if you want to help the testing effort
and are comfortable with restoring if there are regressions.

DO NOT use 'rpi-update' as part of a regular update process.

And after I copied the working SD image to the SSD, and rebooted, I got an error that the Raspi OS software is not the latest .

It didn't boot.

I tried imaging the SSD with the latest from the Raspi web sight and after removing the SD card -- it worked.   It booted just fine from USB - but it was a new OS. 

My SD card OS is somehow lacking.   

I checked the eeprom and it is the latest.

Wheaten:
you did run


--- Code: ---sudo rpi-update
--- End code ---

prior to copying?

Dennis in FL:
Yes...I was up to date,

I'm guessing there was insufficient SD card memory?   

I've since given up and started with a fresh install on the SSD.   So far I am having troubles with the JRiver install. 

Wheaten:
Please elaborate, so i can give you support.
What errors of trouble do you encounter?
