Hi guys

I have strange behaviour on RPi4
I need to connect my pi to wifi.
But it is not possible to connect while it is booted from SSD
This is what I find in log

I guess your SSD did not have an own PSU? Correct? Maybe you should try using something like a powered USB hub or a dedicated PSU

Does connecting it to USB2 port is changing anything?

Yep I find probably same topic.

But I have SATAHAT from radxa which is powered by 12V and I used CPU PSU which can handle looooot of power :smiley:
But doesn’t help me :frowning:

And yes work only when I have disk in USB2

Issue is, USB ports of an RPI are not designed to power SSD or HDD. They are limited on the power they could provide. It’s technical limitation on the SBC. We always recommend to use a dedicate PSU on attached SSD/HDD.

I’m a little bit confused:
It works not when connected to the SATA ports from the HAT, but with USB ports of the HAT OR the USB ports of he Pi itself?

Its not possible to power up external disk .
I use this box with ssd https://www.alza.sk/axagon-adsa-1s6-slimport6-d3020462.htm

You could try using a powered USB hub.

Tried but it doesn’t work also :frowning:

Maybe you like to connect to the post on RPI forum as it seems related to the physical device.
