Once I'm able to confirm compatibility with the Pinebook pro, I'll post back here and add it to the compatible hardware section of the wiki.  One thing I would suggest would be to add a column listing the lowest power draw that keeps the respective drive active.

The description for the drive on Newegg reads:  Intel 660p Series M.2 2280 1TB PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 3D2, QLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDPEKNW010T8X1
I see in the wiki that you were able to verify this in your PBP, am I right?
I've tried this drive and get nothing. I'm afraid that I may also have damaged the ribbon for the nVME adaptor in aggressive folding, so I can't be sure it's the SSD, until I get a case for external testing.

Thanks!

I've been using the Intel 660p 500GB version as root with Manjaro for the past couple of days with no issues so far. No crashes/kernel panics. My battery is ~1 hour worse now, No discernable speed increase in loading apps, boot time is the biggest improvement going from ~28s to ~23 seconds.

The new ribbons in the store now should not require folding so i recommend buying a new nvme adapter and trying with that.
Thanks. I ended up solving, so success!

I re-opened my case, and reinstalled the existing ribbon carefully - wrapping folds to curve around sections of plastic toothpick and carefully securing the whole assembly with black fabric wire loom tape - like that used in PBP factory assemblies.

The good news is that this "little" drive rocks. I might have gone with the WD Blue 550, for slightly improved power usage, but I'm close to just ditching the EMMc, and may return the difference!
