Can't use external SSD with jetson orin nano super with jetpack 6.1

I flashed JetPack 6.1 (Rev. 1) to my NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super Dev Kit (8GB) using a microSD card via NVIDIA SDK Manager on my Ubuntu 20.04 host machine. After the flashing process, I was unable to use an external SSD with my board. My questions are:

  1. If I switch to an NVMe SSD instead of using a microSD card, will this problem be solved?
  2. If I need to use an external SSD with my board, can you recommend a step-by-step solution that works with the Jetson Orin Nano Super?

Hi,

What is the situation of unable to use an external SSD?
You could not mount the SSD or the device could not detect SSD or SSD.

Thanks

@DavidDDD I inserted an external SSD into my Jetson Orin Nano, but I can’t access the data because it shows ‘Failed to mount Extreme SSD.’ What should I do? Are there any commands I can run? Please recommend a step-by-step solution.

Hi,

The default ubuntu file system type is ext4, so the system cannot detect this SSD.
You could try one of option:

  1. You could format the SSD to ext4 using sudo mkfs.ext4
  2. You could install the package to support exfat using
sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils

Thanks
