I bought a 2TB SSD and an NVME-to-USB enclosure for it. Booting from USB was a breeze. However... the Pi isn't stable. After a certain time period (usually less than 24h), it seems like the SSD disconnects. Completely unusable except for the in-memory services (so some Home Assistant functions still work, but it's impossible to SSH into it)
What I've tried/more information:
- Different OS. Started on Ubuntu, now I'm on Debian for Home Assistant
- Bought a powered USB hub and connected the SSD through that: https://www.amazon.nl/gp/product/B09NQ7LYXM/
- Before I bought the USB hub, I did some stress testing (CPU load + disk load) to see if the pi would crash (while monitoring the power consumption). There was no instability there, so I had little faith the hub would work
- The Pi itself isn't unstable. It ran perfectly fine for multiple months on an SD card, serving as a K3s master node
- I'm using the official 5V/3A power supply. I also tried using a different power supply
Does anyone have any pointers for me?
