# to make this work, you need to change the eeprom from "default" to "stable", update and reboot

sudo su
nano /etc/default/rpi-eeprom-update

# change rpi-eeprom-update from default to stable

# run the update
rpi-eeprom-update -a

# must reboot
sudo shutdown -r now

# check if the new SSD is visible 
sudo apt-get install lshw
lshw | less
# scroll to the usb section, look for the SCSI disk

q
# if it's there, you're done, partition the disk


# find your new SSD disk, ex: 
sudo fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 953.87 GiB, 1024209543168 bytes, 2000409264 sectors
Disk model: 2115            
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

sudo fdisk /dev/sda
n
p (for primary partition)
(use defaults for everything, keep pressing ENTER)
w (to write and exit fdisk)

# then format it
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1

# mount it
sudo mkdir /mnt/ssd
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ssd

# check if it's mounted and if the space is available
df -h /mnt/ssd

# example:
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1       938G   28K  891G   1% /mnt/ssd

# mount it permanently
cd
sudo umount /mnt/ssd
sudo blkid

# copy the UUID of the new disk, ex: UUID="1234....
# add it to fstab
sudo nano /etc/fstab

# Entry starts with UUID, like this:
UUID=123455-2411-4931-5a22-923452345237f /mnt/ssd ext4 defaults 0 0

# mount from fstab now
sudo mount -a
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
