I am currently running 2 SSD's, a 120GB and a 240GB on usb-3 to sata
adaptors, working flawlessly on a pi4's usb-3 ports.
It took several experiments with adaptors to find good ones though. The
adaptor would die, but the ssd was fine once the adaptor was replaced
with a different brand.
I've disabled the installs default 10 meg swap file, and added a swap
partition on the 120GB set for 10GB, which its gets into by a bit less
that 100megs building a realtime kernel, or LinuxCNC, on a 2Gig rpi4,
basicly changes to reduce the write wear on the 64GB u-sd the pi boots
from. Logs are the majority of the write ops on the u-sd now. And
useing 64G u-sd's seems to spread out that wear, I've had no trouble
with it.
