I have one idea how you can use a Pi 4 with a 2,5" HDD without power problems. I didn't thought at this at first. I am using this type of installation here for a Pi 4 which is used for LibreELEC (Kodi installation) and two external 5TB 2,5" HDD. The main part is this USB 3.0 hub: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07RL74YHZ The hub is getting 12V with 2A from the power adapter. The Pi 4 is connected to the red connector for power (USB-A to USB-C cable). The two 2,5" HDD are connect to the blue connections and one USB 3 port of the Pi is connected with the USB 3 input on the small side of the hub. So the two HDD are getting their power from the hub and also the Pi is getting it's power from the hub. I made many tests, even with three HDD and the voltage was always stable so I never saw the yellow lightning in the top right corner of the video. All other tests with big external power supplies and both USB 3 HDD directly connected to the Pi 4 result in the yellow lightning. pi4 4gb picoreplayer with lms and squeezelite for usb inside an argon one case pi3b+ (7\" display, hifiberry dac+ pro) picoreplayer with squeezlite/jivelite for hifiberry and bluetooth headphone inside a smartipi touch case two airport express ikea symfonisk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ carsten_h's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69113 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111787 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
