While I know about the NVMe compatibility matrix and TechPowerup's SSD database has much more info, I am still finding it difficult to find an optimal low-power large (2TB+) SSD.
From what I can determine so far from the SSD database, there are really 2 choices for low-power:
Only the Kingston is listed in the compatibility matrix, with comments are large battery drain. The compatibility matrix shows many other SSD options using less power, such as WD SN520 and Kioxia BG4.
Does the Power State X actually correlate to battery drain? And can it be forced to always disable all the high-powered states?
Something like SK Hynix Gold P31 2TB shows 6.3W (PS0) in the compatibility matrix, but only 3.3W max in the SSD database.

Which one is accurate? Or are they both accurate and there are old versions which use more power?
