Don't want to be a nag, but FWIW, Mr A.I. Google says:
"The Raspberry Pi 5 offers significantly faster SSD performance than the Pi 4, with NVMe SSDs reaching read/write speeds over 800 MB/s using PCIe HATs, compared to the ~400 MB/s limit of the Pi 4’s USB 3.0 ports. Pi 5 provides up to 13x faster sequential writes and significantly better random 4K performance, often booting twice as fast."
I'm also booting my Pi4's via NVMe > USB3. But, concede to the benefits of having multiple SD boot drives for testing different distros, without jeopardizing the data.
Different strokes...
Apologies to DZ for going OT on your turf. As usual, I'll clean up my posts after this little chat wif me pals.

suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
