I have 2 Samsung 870 EVOs with USB bridges that I'd like to connect to RPi4.

It seems to work fine when I connect them after the RPi4 has already booted and I can see them properly using lsblk.

However if they're connected before booting RPi4 they show up as /dev/sda and sdb, but not in lsblk.

In this situation they're unusable until they're reconnected as all operations fail - even fdisk can't open them.

Any tips?

EDIT:

dmesg output per @DmitryGrigoryev

    Check the kernel log (sudo dmesg | grep usb). My guess is the SSDs exceed 1.2A of USB current allowance if they start at exactly the same time. You might want to check this q&a for details and possible solutions.

  • the USB->SATA adapter(s) may be at fault - what are you using?

  • According to 870 EVO spec they should use less than 1A at max power each, so this should be ok?

    @DmitryGrigoryev your answer seems to be correct. I've purchased a powered USB hub and not it works. Feel free to post an answer and I'll mark it as a solution.
