 The biggest problem with a Pi is that the SD cards which store the OS don’t seem to be well suited for so much constant reading and writing. My Pi 4 has been a tank, but I’ve burnt through 3 SD cards in two years and every time they crap out I have to spend at least an hour testing everything.

 Put the OS on the SSD then toss the SD card in the trash 😁

 I’m too stupid to do this with Umbrel unfortunately 🤣 or rather, they make it so damn easy to use an SD card and the alternative method of installation is a pain

 Haha fair enough. I think you can just flash the same image to the SSD as if it was an SD card, but haven't tried personally
