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.
So regarding the M.2 SSD, I ordered a Samsung 970 Plus SSD 500GB NVMe, but it’s current draw on average is around 3.43W. I read (today) that the maximum draw is 2.5W on the Pinebook Pro.
So maybe I should have ordered instead the Seagate Barracuda 510 one as it has a lower average current draw of 2.52W.

Has anyone with the prototype Pinebook Pro models tried an M.2 and if so, which M.2’s did you have good results with?
Thanks.
