I recently bought a Raspberry Pi model B+ to Run a Bitcoin Lightning node so I was learning how to use it and stuff like that.

Before anything I have to download and sync the bitcoin core software so I was planning to do all that first on my iMac on an old SSD I have.

So the questions are:

  • What kind of formats do Raspberry Pis support?
  • What kind of format do you suggest me to use in order to later connect that SSD to the Raspberry Pi?

Raspbian for Raspberry Pi is Linux based, so I would recommend ext4. If you would like to use the drive on other operating systems and not Linux exclusively, try FAT.

Also, this website has a really good table that compares some file systems.

  • Good answer (+1), although realistically, one tends to download an image such as Raspbian and decompress it, so that the file system is already chosen.
