I had the same problems. I had a SSD in an USB enclosure and connected directly to my Raspberry Pi4 it was not possible to read my music files. At this time I was using max2play. Then I bought a USB hub and everything worked fine. The Raspberry obviously didn't supply enough power to the SSD via the USB connector. When I then started with piCoreplayer the SSD with the USB hub only worked on the USB 2 connector, not on USB 3. After all I bought another enclosure for the SSD an then it worked also on the USB 3. Watch this story in postings #123, #150, #175, #176 and #330 I recommend, using a USB hub with separate power supply to avoid power problems with the direct connection to the Raspberry and if further problems occur to get another SSD enclosure. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Clausi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69940 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111787
