I have 2, a 60G and a 120G, on usb3 to sata cables plugged into a pair of
the pi3's usb2 ports. Seems to work ok.
I am using the 120Gig as scratchpad to build RealtimePi from a
buster-lite image on the pi3b right now. Not fast because the pi3's
slow usb2 ports, but it works. The 60 has configs on it to be copied
back to the RealtimePi image when its built and installed on a fresh 64G
u-sd. Then it will take at least another gig of stuff before I can
build linuxcnc, right on the pi3b.
