   I bought a Pi5 without the official PSU, or even a Pi4 official PSU. It   
   would run for a minute or two and then crash. Completely unusable. It is   
   now fine with the official PSU. I hadn't realised my high wattage USB   
   chargers achieved the high wattage by negotiating a higher voltage. A   
   strategy which was unusable by the Pi. The Pi being non-standard   
   irritates me.   
      
   You have a reasonable solution, so why not chill for a bit, see if a   
   firmware release fixes it, in the fullness of time.   
      
   I did see some mention of the type of FAT causing problems, i.e. exFAT=bad.
