 Your Pi should now boot from the USB drive first.
+==== Argon One SSD slot ====
+The Argon One case offers the ability to use an SSD in its special compartment, which connects to the Raspberry Pi via USB. This USB-to-SATA connections seems to be a bit picky about what it will respond to, so some extra steps are required should you want to install Batocera onto an SSD connected via this method (for reference, booting Batocera off of an SD card still works completely fine, this is for only if you explicitly want Batocera to boot from the SSD).

+This only works for standard SATA 3 SSDs. NVME and PCIe drives will not work.

+  - If already assembled, disassemble the case
+  - Download and run the latest Raspberry Pi OS on the Pi 4
+  - Open a terminal and type ''sudo nano /etc/default/rpi-eeprom-update''
+  - Change the word ''critical'' to ''stable'' and save the file with ''[Ctrl]'' + ''[S]''
+  - Then run ''sudo rpi-eeprom-update'' to update the EEPROM
+  - Continue the steps from 3 in the [[#the_recommended_way|recommended way]] section above
+  - Turn off the Pi 4
+  - Flash Batocera to your intended SSD
+  - Reassemble the case with the SSD attached
