      Hi all

      Info:
      Rpi4 2GB
      Original RPi power supply 3A
      2 zero delay arcade usb enconders connected
      Loading OS from samsung evo plus microsdxc sdxc u3 128gb
      Trying to: get usb drive to load game roms

      Im trying to get my Samsung EVO 850 500GB SSD to work as an usb disk to my retropie. But I think it uses too much power - on the back of the disk 5v - 1.4a.

      I have tried a low cost sata/usb adapter with no power supply, dosen't work
      I have tried an old docking station with power supply, dosen't work

      But thinking of trying to buy this on https://www.axagon.eu/en/produkty/adsa-fp3 . Is there any there have tried this on for there RPi4?

      Regards
      Jakob
