How to boot ubuntu server form an ssd?

I use an rasperry pi 4. I want to use an ssd instead of an micro sd because of speed.

But How can I boot from the ssd?

Thanks

Solution 1:

You can plug the SSD via USB. It would work. USB3 is typically much faster than SD cards, but it also depends on the maximum speed of the SSD. You can plug the SSD to USB convertor and plug it to the raspberry pi. That's what i've done. Now, to BOOT from the SSD, take out the SD card, or format it (so it doesn't contain bootable ISO) and that's it. Raspberry pi should boot from the SSD if it contains bootable ISO.
