I have a pi 3B+ with an attached hard drive in a x830 case etc. The system was
migrated over using
the standard tool for installing on a SD card, then the SD was removed and the
system boot to the
drive. A lot faster.

O/S is Rasbian current version as far as I know and I run mbse as a back up /
parallel system.

I see no reason why bbbs should not work PROVIDING you can get a version for
ARM processors and even
better for the Pi.

You cannot use one for X64 Intel/AMD based CPU's.

If all that is good then just follow the instruction manual etc and look at
what extra libraries are
needed.
