SSD for PBP

[tophneal]

Since many of us have received our PBPs already, I was wondering if we now have any confirmed working SSDs that met the requirements of the PBP. If anyone does, I think it'd be great information to add the the device wiki.

I was thinking about this again, and was wondering if we used a Google spreadsheet to catalogue ssds that have been tested and the results? (Just like we had for the Pinebook's Linux distros.) As it is, it's incredibly hard to keep track of the ssds that have been tested or confirmed working. Several different posts similar to this one exist, or people post their results in other, somewhat unrelated posts. I understand the want to avoid endorsement or dictating what a user can and can't do, but I think it will be a great service to the community if there's a single location that we can reference to determine what ssds work properly with the PBP.

Don't we still need to wait for Pine64 to come up with a new design NVMe adaptor + ribbon cable? I tried fitting mine yesterday but:

- The ribbon cable was the wrong length with the bend in the wrong place.
- The NVMe adaptor seems too long and too thick.

Apparently not. There have been several people mounting theirs and finding their ssds to work or not. Some have already started using theirs to hold part of their chosen OS.

I was able to mount mine last night (no sdd yet  ) and folding the ribbon wasn't difficult. I was concerned about the case bulging from its installation, but I'm not noticing anything now that it's reassembled.

I think the spreadsheet would helpful, though, for once the final fix is released to us. There will likely be more people looking to utilize an ssd by that time. Or even by the time uboot evolves to allow nvme booting.
