It's Alive!

Yes, very much so. Better performance and better reliability. You should be able to get your RPI to boot from it with no SD card installed.

The new OP image can just be copied to an SSD in the same way you would copy an image to an SD card, then follow these directions to set the switch in your RPI to tell it to boot from USB:

If you are starting from scratch with an SSD, I recommend going to one of the newer RPI hats that act as an MSATA adapter. Some can even be mounted UNDER your RPI so you still have the top available for thinks like the wonderful new hat that Sailoog has just made available.
