Hi,
For a lightweight server based on a Pi 3 or 4, the recommendation was to use an externally powered USB hard drive (rather than powering it from the Pi's USB port) for better reliability.
Now that you can get external USB SSD units (which draw less power than HDDs) is it OK to use one for this? I had in mind something like a Samsung T5 or T7 500 GB USB SSD.
Thanks.
