umbrel Multiple external drives found

Hi!
First time with Umbrell on Raspeberry Pi4.
When I try to connect I receive this: “umbrel Multiple external drives found”
But I have just one SSD 1GB.
Maybe the problem is the cable to the SSD. When I connect this SSD to my computer, it’s does not recognize it.
Could you help?
Thanks.

The “external storage system” is a weak spot in Umbrel. Cheap disposable parts and bad contact plague it.
Well, just try change usb cable or sata adapter to find the defective part.
Before installing Umbrel, do some SSD write tests to verify parts.

Hi,thanks for responding so fast.
So I use a new SSD 1GB it’s a good brand (Crucial), and I have bought a new good cable.
The problem was because I kept the micro SD on the micro SD card reader that I plugged into the Pi. I didn’t know that you could plug the SD card directly into the Pi.
But now I have: “The external drive was disconnected while Umbrel was running. This can sometimes happen when using an unofficial Raspberry Pi power supply.”.

I am using a official Raspberry Pi power supply

Again: Before installing Umbrel, do some SSD write tests to verify parts.

Having this same issue. Did you find a way to get it resolved? Thanks

Hi,
yes I have solved it: the problem come from the micro SD card that was not a good one. I have bought another, and now everything is working!!!
