Second question, what is the easier method to copy exactly my install to the ssd? when i need to copy microsd to microsd or do a full backup i use this, would it work with an ssd target? (i know i would have to resize it with gparted after the copy, but its less of a hassle than install everything again) never mind, i just saw their site, apparently it should work with ssd without problem, first question still stands...
Thanks in advance for any help/tip
Been a while since I did it on mine, but as far as I remember you just flash the drive with etcher like you would a sdcard, but you need to turn on unsafe mode so you can write to the drive, just make sure you don't flash the wrong drive
