Obviously this is stupid because we all want the Pi 4 performance gains but if you end up needing to buy a new adapter this will give you a workaround until a replacement arrives! Find USB adapter chipset If the adapters worked before on older Pis then one thing you can try is putting them in the black USB 2.0 ports. If you have working and nonworking adapters leave a comment and I’ll add it in this list. It’s still very early in the release of the Pi 4 so we still have a lot to learn about which adapters work / don’t work. Until that happens though I will maintain a list here of known working ones and known problematic ones. It’s very likely that some of these will be fixed via software and firmware updates and the Raspberry Pi Foundation has several open known issues related to USB 3. The black ones are USB 2.0 and won’t give you the faster speeds the new Pi offers. The USB 3.0 ports are the ones in the middle that are blue inside. The Raspberry Pi 4 is proving to be picky about what SATA, M.2, etc. so don’t use a drive with any data on it unless you are positive you have all of the steps down! Compatible USB Adapters We will be modifying the boot partition, resizing partitions, etc. If you try to upgrade your old ones and something goes wrong there’s a good chance you might lose data. I highly recommend doing this on a completely new install. In this guide I’ll show you a workaround to use USB devices as your rootfs device and use a Micro SD card as bootloader only which gives us full SSD performance after boot! To see exactly how much of a performance difference this makes (spoiler: it’s gigantic) check out the Raspberry Pi Storage Benchmarks. Most of my projects heavily depend on having good performing storage so sitting and waiting was not an acceptable solution. No timeline has been given yet for that to happen but they state it’s one of their top priorities. The Raspberry Pi foundation states that it is being worked on and will be added back with a future update. One very major downside is that it doesn’t support true USB booting yet out of the box (like the 3 series did). The Raspberry Pi 4* is finally here and has a lot of exciting changes. View the Raspberry Pi Bootloader Configuration Guide here!** ** The new Raspberry Pi bootloader is out which makes these instructions only necessary if you want to continue to use the SD card as a bootloader.
