DO I need to format the SSD in a special way ? I've got an SSD supposed to be compatible and connected to my Rasp PI4 using the USB3.0 port but I never succeeded to make it visible to the system...

[@HiveMindAutomation]

when you add the SSD, if it's already been formatted to something, Home Assistant will need to re-format it. It's best to not format it at all if it's a new drive.

Hi, which CM module you have in Yellow? What is the eMMC capacity?

[@HiveMindAutomation]

If I remember correctly it's an 8GB module, which is why it's full.
