Seems the Rpi4 has Eeprom that you can program to boot from ssd. You cant do it at present, but the functionality will be added later.
For now you can always have the boot partition on the sdcard and the filesystem on a flashdrive, which might be more robust (see the last posts in that link).
Edit: here it is

Don't worry, by the time ICASA finally certifies this thing for use in SA, the new revision of the board will be out, with the fixed USB C port. (I'll bet).
By that time, the Pi 6 might be out already.

Nope, it's the wifi / BT chip which needs to be certified. New revision will be 99% the same with minor tweaks like an extra resistor on the USB C port. It'll still be the "same" board as far as ICASA's concerned. (Just like the Pi Zero WH didn't have to be redone cos the W only was already certified)Unless the new revision has to be re-certified

I'm waiting on the 4GB.
First and foremost, storage server. I have been waiting for a pi with USB 3.0 for years.What you planning to do with it? Or will you figure that out later?

Personally I'm in no rush - I'm a tad concerned about the overheating problems raised in early reviews.
The new FLIRC case might be an idea.

Me too. This'll be a perfect replacement for my Mini ITX home server. Suddenly that seems very large.
