I just moved my Home Assistant from SD to SSD and it couldn’t have been easier. Using the USB-Sata adapter I plugged my SSD into my Mac and then used Balena Etcher to dump the HA image directly to the SSD. Plugged it into my Pi and it fired up just like it would’ve if it had imaged to the SD card. I was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was and it’s nice to have HA running off of an SSD now.

You can clone it while running as well [0]. For speed make sure the adapter is USB3.0 and plugs into one of the USB3.0 ports on the pi and also that it supports UASP and enable trim on the drive [1].
