Hi everyone, new to community and trying to get my node set up. I read through the troubleshooting section and didn’t see an answer to my specific issue. **Summary** I followed the Umbrel tutorial and got to [http://umbrel.local/](http://umbrel.local/) and was recording seed phrase. After the 24th word I hit continue and got an error that just said “error” and it would not let me continue. I restarted node then got stuck on the Umbrel screen with the message “Starting Umbrel…” the a message saying that it could not recognize my ssd and to plug it into the other usb 3.0 slot and restart. This was unsuccessful after the restart. So i started from scratch and re-flashed sd card and reformatted the ssd. Same results. Logged connected via the ssh and ran the debug. Got and got a similar error message: “You have either no external drive connected to your Raspberry Pi or the drive is not being detected.” Debug information below. Any one have thoughts on a path forward? Thanks for reading. **Hardware:** Raspberry Pi 4 8Gb ORICO 2.5 External Drive Enclosure SSD- Intel DC S4500 Series 960GB Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Official PSU SD Card- SAMSUNG (MB-ME32GA/AM) 32GB 95MB/s (U1) microSDHC EVO # **Debug** # = Umbrel debug info = ## Umbrel version 0.3.12 ## Umbrel OS version v0.3.12 ## Raspberry Pi Model Revision : d03114 Serial : 1000000047c5c3f9 Model : Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.4 ## Firmware May 27 2021 14:02:15 Copyright © 2012 Broadcom version 7d9a298cda813f747b51fe17e1e417e7bf5ca94d (clean) (release) (start) ## Temperature temp=45.7’C ## Throttling throttled=0x0 ## Memory usage ``` total used free shared buff/cache available ``` Mem: 7.8G 151M 7.4G 8.0M 231M 7.5G Swap: 0B 0B 0B total: 2.0% system: 2% tor: 0% lnd: 0% electrs: 0% bitcoin: 0% ## Memory monitor logs tail: cannot open ‘/home/umbrel/umbrel/scripts/…/logs/memory-monitor.log’ for reading: No such file or directory ## Filesystem information Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/root 30G 2.9G 25G 11% / /dev/root 30G 2.9G 25G 11% / ## Startup service logs – Logs begin at Mon 2021-06-21 01:55:51 UTC, end at Mon 2021-06-21 02:00:14 UTC. – Jun 21 01:56:06 umbrel systemd[1]: Dependency failed for Umbrel Startup Service.

I re-flashed sd and reformatted ssd to ex-fat. I was able to connect via umbrel.local and got to dashboard. All things were syncing until i got an external drive disconnected error. Still troubleshooting. ![Drive_Disconnected](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/getumbrel/original/1X/22f9b8ff5c366fabfe5281bf6f79facc76ce9975.png) ---

SOLVED: Ended up being some issue with the SSD I got a different one and no problems since.
