Pinebook Pro?

[postal_dude]

Hi all,

There was confirmation in this thread that m.2 is supported through adapter...
https://store.pine64.org/?product=rockpr...rface-card

Does this mean I'll need to actually open laptop chassis ? I don't think this can fit into chassis ...

Best regards,
Nikola

I don't think it will be the one in the store currently,as the Pinebook Pro already has the M2 slot on the PCB, it may just be a extender, the only real donwside might be the power draw and heat from the SSD.

Yes, you will have to take off the bottom of the laptop held in with 10 screws. Do so only when the laptop is closed (lid and keyboard completely aligned) and powered down. The optional adapter will live under the left palm rest - there are dedicated stand-offs for the adapter - and it plugs right into the main PCB. Its a very small adapter with a long cable -- its not the same adapter as currently shown in the store.
And yes, indeed, heat and power-draw are valid concerns... and something to consider. I can imagine that the heat from some NVMe drives can cause discomfort to some.

Thanks for explanations ! Small sub question … will some passive heatsinks be present in pinebook pro ?
