I’ve been booting from the external Toshiba 500gig USB drive for years but the Pi still needs /boot on the SD card to read the configuration then continues booting from the external drive. In your case are you saying the SD card is completely eliminated if the PiDrive is used ?

Building the external boot is not too hard: DD the SD image to the HD then figure out the Linux ID of the external HD, edit I think it is /boot/config.txt with the external ID and reboot. I wrote up the routine on the rasperry pi forums long ago but it should still be there, search boot external hard drive. Bill acj
