Replace SD card on Rpi with SSD

[Moose]

I did a search of the site and could only find one post from 8 years ago. So, has anyone tried replacing the SD card with an SSD? It would seem to be a perfect fit on a Rpi 4b with USB 3.0 available for speed. I am thinking of trying it.

Looks like it's pretty easy with the addition of a SATA to USB cable.

I believe petera uses a SSD.
I run my setup from a USB stick on both a 3b+ and zero w2

Could you not have left this to play out before you bury it in this folder?? I, for one, never look in a folder that starts with "Mac", never mind its sub folder!
