Ubuntu 20.10 supports booting from SSD “out-of-the-box” without messing with the boot folder’s kernel files yourself.Raspberry Pi’s bootloader has a 3 version that just started supporting booting from SSD.

I’ll try to answer the many unclear steps in the process. Raspberry Pi 4 recently started supporting booting from SSD drives directly rather than using a slower, more fragile SD card.Īlthough, there’s a lot of content describing how to create a new system on SSD, it doesn’t seem like there’s a good summarizing article describing how to take your existing Ubuntu install, with all your existing server configurations and files etc, and move that existing install from SD card to SSD.
