I would agree with that. It's not clear to me why an SD is being used
in this way as the OP has at last revealed that the computer is unable
to boot from an SD plugged in directly. (Of course, an SD card can be
made to look like a USB stick just by sticking it in a card reader.
Then it will boot.)

Googling may now throw up this thread when people are searching for
SSD installation. SSDs are a different animal from SD cards.
