External USB 2.5" SSD
Posted: Sat Jun 08, 2024 12:11 pm
My R5S has crashed a few times when I'm trying to setup an external USB 2.5" SSD as a network share. I can create the EXT4 partition and map it on Windows, but when I try to use it, the R5S crashes.
Is it a power issue or something else?
Edit: I tried with a different drive that has its own power supply and didn't have the issue. So, I guess the NanoPi USB ports can't supply enough power for the USB SSD. But after the crashes my SD Card which I boot from has gone Read-Only.
Edit: I changed the USB power supply to one that is 30 watts and all works fine.
