A claimed 25mW power consumption actually turns out to be 225mW with testing equipment and that is high compared with other NVMe drives. The idle power consumption is an important stat but peak power draw is unknown - no information is provided about the state 0, 1 or 2 power consumption unless someone has one to hand?

I have one on my desk waiting for the Pinebook Pro to arrive. I'm in the first batch AFAIK, so I'll have details (hopefully) soon. If you know of a way to test power consumption in advance, I'm happy to give it a shot (even with a small risk of burning the drive); I've got your usual hobby electronics lab available, along with zero fear soldering surface mount.
