OK, you got me. Accuse me of becoming a little impatient and you'd be right, but I'd deny it. After seeing Stuarts video where he installs and runs it, I said to myself, "OMG I need this". Hahaha.

It'll work on a RPi 400 same as a RPi4. The device tree blob takes care of any architecture nuances.
I just stumbled on this. They're sending two more Raspberry Pis (RPi4) to the International Space Station. It'll go on the SpaceX CRS 24/Falcon 9 and as of today, the launch is scheduled for December 21st, 2021.

So they're sending a Raspberry Pi 4 [8GB] up there. They must be planning on running a 64-bit OS.
No problem Stu. All you need to concern yourself with is keeping the SoC cool. The RPi4 isn't as thermally challenging as the RPi3 [B+] but without an adequate cooling solution you're going to hit the thermal limiter more often that you'd like, and that will slow operations down exponentially. Maybe you want to consider doing what I did and run the board outside of a case until you find the best cooling solution, and then consider your options for an enclosure.
This one looks like it'll not fit due to the bracket or the heat sink itself?
That RTC's going to interfere with anything but the low profile heatsink. An RTC that would be useable with a larger heatsink would be like the ones I sent you years ago (with jumper cables to connect them) - this Adafruit DS3231 RTC is one that would be perfect but you need to solder the pins to the board yourself. The best of the best is the ChronoDot IMHO but they are quite pricey.

I did wonder about that. I'll dig out the one you sent me and solder the bad boy up.

Just remember with the DS3231, if you're using a rechargeable battery then connect the RTC power into the 5v pin. If not then plug it into the 3.3v pin.

Thanks, noted. ISTR buying a rechargeable battery just for it.
Thanks, Exaga. I haven’t gotten an SSD for my Pi4 yet, but likely this year and from LQ and elsewhere it seems it can save a lot of aggravation to get a reliable cable, and there are plenty of troublesome ones on the market to avoid.

The adapter I linked features the same chipset as mine so I assume it's going to work as expected. Only drawback I can see with it for me personally is the length of the cable. It's almost 1/3 of the price I paid for mine too.
The USB to SATA adapter I use on the Rpi4 and the RockPro64, Orange Pi Plus 2E are listed in the RPi4 installation documentation. I've also listed the USB to NVME enclosure I'm using on the RPi4.
