Possible to upgrade PBP with NVMe M.2 1TB SSD from Sabrent?

[kkdao]

what are the specs of power consumption for that drive? M.2 drives that are power hungry will not play well with the PBP. If Sabrent doesn't ake those numbers available, try checking with nvme-cli.

When you boot normally, does your OS not already see the drive installed?

I'm not sure what the specs are for power consumption, but I installed nvme-cli, so what commands should I use for the info you're looking for? FWIW, the SSD I'm trying to add had data on it, but I'm not sure if it does anymore, I just see the size of it when I use "lsblk"

But yes the OS does see it installed when I use "lsblk", but when I follow that guide to mount it and use it from boot, it panics after that certain command.

I'm slightly confused about what you have done.  Are you using the sabrent in the pcie nvme adapter?  If so,  you should see the device as /dev/nvme0n1, I think.  (i.e. not sda1) .  If you are trying to replicate the SD or EMMC system which is booted, you would need to use DD or rsync, not copy, I believe.  Could you tell us which system you have booted,  on which device,  and how the sabrent  shows up  when you run 
lsblk..  Perhaps we can help more then.  I believe the instructions you were following were for a rock64 for a particular system....

Yes I'm using the sabrent ssd which I've connected to this: https://store.pine64.org/?product=pinebo...ce-adapter



Yes when I use lsblk I see the device as /dev/nvme0n1



So yes I am trying to replicate that, but i'm not sure how to use DD or rsync for that



I have the Manjaro KDE system that comes with the PBP default, that is booted on the eMMC (assuming you are referring to this when you ask "which device"?)

lsblk looks like this:

NAME        MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
mmcblk2      179:0    0  58.2G  0 disk
├─mmcblk2p1  179:1    0 213.6M  0 part /boot
└─mmcblk2p2  179:2    0    58G  0 part /
mmcblk2boot0 179:32  0    4M  1 disk
mmcblk2boot1 179:64  0    4M  1 disk
zram0        252:0    0  5.6G  0 disk [SWAP]
nvme0n1      259:0    0 953.9G  0 disk
└─nvme0n1p1  259:1    0 953.8G  0 part



Ah okay that makes sense if they were for a rock64
