Is this 64 bit? How do I make sure? Does the cli update just install 32 if you have 32 or 64 if you have 64? I Know when I updated to 64 originally I had to create a new image.
I think 5.5 is probably OK as well. There was some changes made on 5.6 that might affect this issue. There was also an issue about problems in Github about 5.6.
No idea about 64bit. Think I’m still running 32bit and have not yet investigated 64bit and how that ugprade would go (complete reinstall I guess).
I have not used this particular one but in the description of ha os there is also command import:
Then you may download 64 bit version to USB and use this command to update…
I did the cli and it stayed at 64 bit. Now hopefully I am stable again. Just had 5.6 l
Freeze after 36 hours. Going to try 5.2.
I have a pi3 and from SSD with Os 5.9 it does not start anymore … since from what I understand your modification can be done on the pi4 … to remedy the problem I could move Ha to SSD from SD card leaving the system with both SD + SSD memories?
In order to see EEPROM version of RPi 4 in HA I have made a feature request: RPi4 EEPROM version information in HA
You may review it and vote if you believe it will be useful.
Running Home-Assistant on RPi 3b+ with an external SSD drive (120GB Sandisk conected to USB). Everything worked flawlessly until I updated Home-assistant few days ago. Since the update the I can no longer make the RPi boot from the SSD. I can boot from a USB disk on key connected to the RPi which confirms that I can boot from the USB. What am I missing?

Hello everybody. A few months ago I updated from SD card to HasOS 5.2 (beta at the time) with a USB connected SSD. Booting from USB (2 because USB 3 not booting). After boot this is working flawless. Whenever I update to a higher version of HassOS (tried 5.3,5.5 and now 5.10) my systems locks up every few hours. As you can imagine this is not really ok, waking up to a dark and cold house because HA locked up over night.
But what am I missing? What changed after HasOS5.2? Why does my system lock up (not responsive, no automations trigger, nothing) under the newer HasOS?
SSD: Western Digital Wds250G2B0C WD Blue Ssd SN550 Nvme 500 GB, M.2 2280
Enclosure: ICY BOX SSD M.2 NVMe Enclosure USB 3.1, Black
Same problem here, but instead of 5.2 I’m on version 5.3 with all the newer updates causing lock ups.

To get away from the issues related to HASSIO supporting bootup from USB/SSD, consider to run HA in Docker using the IOTstack setup. Graham Garner did all the heavy lifting and provided a nice menu and scripts that will do the initial setup, backups etc. It is well documented, with an active Discord Forum.
Also see the RPi 4 USB boot and RPi with Docker/IOTstack videos by Andreas Spiess on how to set up a RPi using a SSD.
NOTE: Whatever you do, don’t bother to buy a SSD from KingSpec. It lasted me a full three months before it crapped out on me.
I got my raspbarry pi3b+ working with SSD.
Installed from scratch, migrate my backup (database is always corrupt but just deleted it).
Could upgrade to latest patches, all worked fine.
Today I shutdown the host since I wanted to relocate the pi but it doesn’t want to boot now.
I had similar issues a week ago. I tought I had disconnected the powerplug by mistake an tought the disk was corrupt but I have the feeling it is a more structural issues I have.
Anyone who can help me ?
Hello everyone. I went all this way with freezes, ssd over usb RPi4. I checked on OS versions 5.5 - 5.10. The system hung at different times on all of them. Then I installed 5.2 and updated it to 5.3, for more than a month there are no problems, everything works as great.
Yes! It worked for my Odroid C4. Thank you!
core-2021.2.3 & supervisor-2021.02.9
Instead of Linux rig, I used different SD card with Linux on the same Odroid
Hi all
I’m trying UNSUCCESSFULY to migrate my SD to a SSD.
Pi4 2Gb updated -> boot USB ok
SSD flashed with the latest 64bits HassOS -> Boot fine
But then, I can’t restore my snapshot (on the onboarding menu or after created a new account, in the snapshot menu)
What can I try ?
I’m going crazy 
Install ssh and smb. Copy the image to the HA backup folder
Well some advice for those who are planning to transfer/move from microSD to SSD, I find ArgonOne M2 is one of the best cases for RPI4. ArgonOne with an active and passive cooling system combines with M2 Sata makes it a perfect solution without having to get an SSD with the right/correct enclosure.

Furthermore, if you guys want a multi-use of your RPI then you can try Debian supervised version which also great. I made scripts to help noobs install it
So hopefully this will help.
I did this
I choose my snapshot, click on Restore Selected (I unchecked the first Home Assistant line)
Then it quickly show me the small black popup “Connexion Lost…” (no progress display ?)
I’ve seen (thank’s to Samba) some files appears to be restored.
Now I can’t access on the file (smb) or on the Webpage
I’m still stuck at the same point
anyone who can help me ?
The Raspberry remains offline during the move, right? I’m trying to move mine to a 750GB drive (I know it’s way too big, but it was my only spare disk), and the Pi is not pingable; I’m kind of scared.
The easiest way for me was to install on the SSD either HAOS or Debian and then do a snapshot restore. There are several very good tutorials depending on which method you choose.
