I can’t remember the steps (they were simple though) but when my Home Assistant raspi SD card died, I bought a 128gb SSD from AliExpress and a usb-sata cable.
I then did something to the pi that meant it can boot from the SSD, and flashed the SSD using Balenetcher or RUFUS or whatever (same program I was using to flash my SD cards basically).
Then it was just a case of plugging in and turning it on.
Runs exactly the same as with an SD card with less dying because SD cards aren’t meant for a lot of read/write but SSDs do.
