       | This is so cool! The Raspberry Pi comes alive when you put an SSD
       | boot drive in, it becomes such a joy to use (for me it also
       | offered a bit of a feeling of safety as I had multiple SD cards
       | die on me in my networking Pi). If you compare running APT on an
       | SD card and SSD you'll never wanna go back.

       | As for the cable issue, I struggle with that myself, I designed a
       | 'tablety' case for my Pi 4 with the 7" touchscreen and a 2.5
       | enclosure housing an SSD to run OctoPrint for my 3D printer and
       | couldn't find a better solution. Maybe Adafruit's ribbon
       | connector modules would've worked but I didn't want to buy them
       | with overseas shipping. I'm attempting to learn electronics to
       | maybe one day be able to make my own boards to more elegantly
       | integrate the Pi with other hardware within the same enclosure.

         | That project sounds really awesome actually - have any links or
         | write ups on it?

         | Agreed with the cables. I'm keeping my eye out for some sort of
         | minimal, flat ribbon cable that I could possibly have flush
         | against the side of the casing.
