Raspberry Pi 5 randomly reboots when powering an SSD over USB

italo_ragazzo

I’m using a Raspberry Pi 5 with an NVMe SSD connected through a USB 3 enclosure. The Pi works normally when the SSD is disconnected, but occasionally reboots when the SSD is under sustained read/write load.I purchased this one in Italy, so it might function differently.

The power supply is rated at 27W, and the issue seems more likely to happen when the CPU is also under load. Has anyone seen this with the Raspberry Pi 5, and would using a higher-rated USB-C supply or a powered USB hub be the recommended solution?

Thank you

best,

    I’ve had the same.  A supposedly compatible enclosure with compatible NVMe SSD and it was very unreliable.  I was running Home Assistant, which would frequently crash with no logs or other information.  I never got to the bottom of why and I got totally fed up with HA itself so it is all just stuck in a corner now.  If you do work anything out, please report back.
