I’m looking for a solution to replace the SD card in my raspberry pi 4 with an SSD.

There are many “hats” from geekworm that do exactly that. However, they all use the USB port and mentioned that the adapter can create interference in the 2,4 GHz range.

The main purpose of the raspi is being the Home Assistant server and the Zigbee hub (Raspbee II dongle on the io pins). Zigbee is using 2,4GHz as well and I don’t want the connectivity being impaired.

What’s the best option here? I thought of getting an “external” ssd so the adapter isn’t as close to the dongle. Does the interference from the adapter itself or the USB port on the raspi?
