I have the same issue. I’ve bought 100% of the recommended hardware off umbrel. Even ordered a replacement Crucial SSD incase the first SSD I received was corrupt, same issue.
It stays on “Starting Umbrel…” for a long time:
Then shows me the same “Error: Failed to connect external drive” error.
I’ve ssh
'd into umbrel with ssh umbrel@umbrel.local
then ran ~/umbrel/scripts/debug --upload
and all I get is the following:
umbrel@umbrel:~ $ ~/umbrel/scripts/debug --upload
[REDACTED_LOTS_OF_DEBUG_LINES...]

Note the This script could not automatically detect an issue with your Umbrel. line in the result of the script.
So, as it stands:
- Using 100% of recommended hardware (Same ORICO connector one someone mentioned in this thread).
- Using latest umbrel release.
- Tried in both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports on the RP4.
- Tried multiple different recommended SSD’s.
- No errors detected from script.
There’s nothing else I can think of. I’ve spent hours debugging this trying different ways and I’m pretty convinced it’s a bug with umbrel.
If anyone else has any ideas/solutions that worked for them please let me know.
