Simo reacted to NicoD in Boot Orange Pi 5 from HDD connected through Sata-USB adaptor
You do have a way to power your HDD do you? Or is it an SSD?
A sata adapter only powers 2.5" devices. If it's 3.5" HDD then you need 12V.
I would advice not to boot from HDD. If something goes wrong with the image on an sd-card then you just replace the sd-card without loosing anything from the HDD.
Do use a good sd-card. Hard drives also aren't super fast, so no real speed benifit in using that.
