Updated 2024-06-05 ! Yes, it's really true ! Thats the maximum time it takes to write the Raspberry Pi(RPi) OS to a bootable USB SSD and maybe read this post ? If you have a RPi 4, 5 and a USB SSD or  other USB drive , that works as a boot media, just use  the RPi imager which can write the image direct to  the USB  storage. Having an older RPi ? Use this post instead. If you already have a SD card with working applications and you want to "transfer",  copy/clone,  them to a bootable SSD use this post .
