If anyone is looking for an NVME drive for their Pinebook Pro, I have tested the 512GB Intel 660p M.2 2280 SSD on battery power and I am happy to report and recommend it.
I tested it on the Manjaro Preview 4. At 5% battery power Manjaro warns that the battery is low and that you should either select Hibernate, Suspend or Shutdown.
I kept the Pinebook Pro powered on for about 9 Hrs with drive mounted and the screen turned off.
Occasionally I would turn on the screen and copy a 14GB file from the SSD to the emmc.
I also duplicated the 14GB file on the SSD. On the SSD my speed was was consistently about 230 mb/sec.
I decided to keep on running and was copying 5GB of 14GB when the laptop appeared to try and turn off at 2% battery power.
I should note that for the last 1.5 hours I had the screen on at about 50% brightness.
The Inted SSD operates at 3.3V and draws a maximum 1.35 amps. So that works out to 4.46 watts.
The part number is SSDPEKNW512G8X1.
