Chit Chat about Tick Tock (July News Upadte)

Definitely kicking myself that I didn't make an account sooner -- I've been following the project but forums have always scared me off. This forum seems well-managed though, so a mistake on my part.

A somewhat important question, also related to storage: what's the max power draw on PCIe devices over m.2? Some of these NVMe disks have wild maximum power draws.

Around 2.5W reserved for NVMe drive. Please don't use the power hungry type SSD which can creates heat and power consumption issue.

This needs an important clarification.  Is that 2.5W mark the absolute maximum that can be safely provided, or is that simply a "sustained idle" target?  Many SSDs will use only a few mW of power when idle, but then jump to more than 4W when doing writes.  What are the actual maximums for sustained and burst power draw here?

Thanks
