===About SSD/HDD===
* Do not recommend using Samsung hard drives, please use hard drives of other brands.
* As with all SSDs, new SSD/HDD must be formatted before use.
* Older SSD/HDD drives with less efficient flash media may not perform as well as newer drives.
* A microSD card is required for forceing the Raspbian OS to use the HDD/SSD for its "root" partition
