Reading the various comments, I agree, it did seem a bit odd, but Ms
Samsung was adamant.

However, I'm not sure that she understood what a PI was, or what the OS
was either, but after a short pause to consult, I was told that it was
incompatible, end of story.

Regarding the power supply, I did try it again this morning connecting
via a powered USB hub, but I got exactly the same problem again, it was
reported as being read only, then unmounted (and the mount point was
rmdir'd), again at the 4% full point.

The PI in question is a 2B.

The SSD is now packaged up awaiting a trip to the post office, but I
could still do with a new SSD, but clearly not a Samsung one (as they
can't confirm that any of them will work).
