I'm really interested about using an SSD on a USB3 port because speed
You will get very heavily bottlenecked by the SCSI connection in this case. SCSI-1 is not fast, so do not expect too much...

The Mac is also a significant bottleneck. With a SE/30, I'm happy to get 1MB/sYou will get very heavily bottlenecked by the SCSI connection in this case. SCSI-1 is not fast, so do not expect too much...
You are right. On another side, i'm more interested about using a real ssd, just because I had bad experiences with SD cards.You will get very heavily bottlenecked by the SCSI connection in this case. SCSI-1 is not fast, so do not expect too much...
Planning to use it on more platforms but thanks for the hint!The Mac is also a significant bottleneck. With a SE/30, I'm happy to get 1MB/s
The maximum theoretical limit on SCSI-1 is 5MB/s, which is much slower than a SD card at 10-12MB/s.

^_^For reliability, you are likely right that it will be better; and I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work, so long as you're not expecting a speedup .
Good advice.You can also use an eMMC to microSD adapter for your Raspberry Pi. eMMC are more reliable than microSD

Most likely. The eMMC would take up the place of the SD connection.Could you use the eMMC built into an RPi Compute Module as mass storage for a Mac via RaSCSI?
Definitely!! I pre-ordered my CM4 in November, but its still not here yet! The best estimate they will give me is "sometime in January, maybe".Could you use the eMMC built into an RPi Compute Module as mass storage for a Mac via RaSCSI?
Yep, that's how it works, the inexpensive models come with SD literally in the place of EMMc so you could go with one of those to kep the price down. All you loose for such a compact solution is the USB3 implementation of Pi4. Zero remains a very inexpensive solution, but CM4 puts the card @landoGriffin mentioned just about anywhere inside a Mac or onto the tiniest of external solutions, which also puts its onboard WiFi antenna outside the RFI shielding.Most likely.

On Pi4, USB is implemented over PCIe.Yep, that's how it works, the inexpensive models come with SD literally in the place of EMMc so you could go with one of those to kep the price down.
