Although I've not yet tackled Jason's safe-shutdown circuit, I've got my RPI booting and running off of the SSD now. WOW, what a difference in speed!
- I used my existing non-variable buck converter to power the RPi.
- The 5V output of the buck is connected to a USB C whip that I had made (this avoids having to connect to the unprotected GPIO pins).
- The SSD is powered by one of the the RPi's USB ports
- All other USB connections go to a USB hub powered by the same supply delivering 12V to the buck.
