For the people who answer this, I'd like to know if they booted from an sd-card or ssd-device as well.
I noticed a huge difference in the responsiveness when using my Pi 4 (only via ssh and with a terminal) for some machine learning jobs after I switched to boot from an external SSD.
For Pi4s made in the last couple of years, booting from ssd seems to be a built-in feature, without any need for flashing anything on the device first, which held me back from doing it earlier.

- rootbear 4y agoI was going to say this. The sdcard is the weak link in the Raspberry Pi system. Even a USB flash drive is better. I have a Pi 4 that I use as a secondary system and it boots from an external SSD. It makes a real difference in responsiveness.

There are also SBCs in similar price- and spec range from other vendors but with SATA or even m2 PCIe interfaces, which is generally a lot more reliable than gambling on dodgy USB3 adapters. Alternatively, CM4 (or equivalent) on an appropriate board. (I used one of those as a workstation for a month or so; worked fine enough, the only major friction was that I had to be mindful of closing browser tabs)
