It was slightly fiddly to put it all together, but not really outside
expectations. Linux was able to see my SSD without any trouble.

However I have not been able to get the Pi to boot directly from the
SSD. It can see there’s something there but can’t interpret it properly;
the diagnostic output (copy-typed) is:

Did you configure your Pi to boot from the SSD? You didn't say anything
about that. Argon seems to provide a couple of scripts to config a Pi
for that. Which is a little scary but I assume those steps in their
scripts are needed. Although the settings listed are just a few in
eeprom config and config.txt.

In my case the SSD is a Crucial CT1000P5SSD8; I had it left over from a
decommissioned PC.

I saw a list of tested SSDs somewhere, here's one:

It lists Crucial P2, P3 and P3 Plus.
