Raspberry Pi install system to removable disk

Normally we install the Raspberry Pi system in the TF (micro SD) memory card on the Raspberry Pi, but due to the performance of the TF card, in some cases it will be stuck like PPT, in order to pursue the experience, we will choose to install the system on the removable disk, thus solving the problem.

Hardware preparation (Hardware)

1) Raspberry Pi 4B.

2) A TF memory card to be used for the first boot of the Raspberry Pi.

3) A DC power supply with a current of 2A and a voltage of 5V.

4) A removable disk.

5) Win32 Disk Imager software for backing up the system.

6) Raspberry Pi Imager software, used to write the system to the removable disk.

Backup system (Backup OS)

First create an empty file with img suffix on the hard disk, open Win32 Disk Imager, select the path to write the backup file (i.e. the path to the empty img file), select the TF card to be backed up, click Read and wait for it to finish.

Wait for it to finish!

Transfer OS

Open the Raspberry Pi Imagr, select the system as custom system image, select the removable disk (never choose the wrong one, the data is priceless), click Burn to burn.

Start Raspberry Pi (Boot)

Unplug the TF card of Raspberry Pi and insert the removable disk to boot it.
