If you have got a Raspberry Pi power supply - yes.Hi,
I’ve purchased a Raspberry Pi 5, and it’s being delivered today. I also bought the Argon ONE V5 M.2 NVMe Case for it.
I’ve used the Raspberry Pi Imager to install the 64-bit version of Raspberry Pi OS onto a USB flash drive.
My plan is to boot the Pi from the USB stick (without using an SD card) and then install the OS onto the SSD through the Raspberry Pi Imager.
Is this setup sufficient? Will the Raspberry Pi 5 boot directly from the USB stick without requiring an SD card?
