vobo70 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Hello, I have two Banana Pi Pro boards with current Armbian 20.02.1_Bananapipro_buster_current_5.4.20_minimal, kernel 5.4.20-sunxi and both have small SSD connected (WD 120GB and Goodram 120GB). fdisk -l doesn't show any drive's except sdcard (and ram drives). Is there any way I can get it working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Describe your powering scheme / provide photo of the setup and armbianmonitor -u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vobo70 Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 Banana Pi Pro are both same: powered by microUSB cable and dual 2,4A charger (aukey), both SATA cables are genuine (sinovoip - manufacturer of Banana Pi R2) and both SSD's are quite low power. Both SSD's works on same setup (except power supply) on Banana Pi R2. Here are results of armbianmonitor -u for both SBC's:http://ix.io/2eI7http://ix.io/2eI8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 6 minutes ago, vobo70 said: quite low power mUSB connector is barely enough to power the board, while USB ports on the Banana PRO gives out perhaps 50-100mA per port, with some voltage drop when on load. That is certainly not enough for "quite low power SSD". Use powered USB hub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vobo70 Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 Thank you. But my Sata SSD drives connected through sata data and power cable; It's not USB drive. Should I power whole Banana Pi Pro from USB powered HUB? (I think hub gives me less power than genuine 2,4A charger ...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope someone else can confirm that SATA on latest images doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
