SSD for PBP

[bcnaz]

Cost is an issue for those who want more storage.  The 128GB eMMC Module in the Pine Store is $55.   A Kingston 250GB A2000 is $40 on Amazon.  Add in $7 for the adapter, and SSD is twice the capacity for less money.

My main issue of waiting to install a PCIe SSD in my Pinebook Pro has been a mainstream solution to booting from this Drive.

I do think I could make it physically fit as DanielT did, (another thread)   "cutting the adapter card" and "using an alternate method" to secure the Drive to the adapter card.   (When using the M.2 2280 model cards)

BUT,     recently I have seen others having a problem with power to this SSD drive,  I am wondering if the PCIe module draws much more
Power than the eMMC does  ?

The specifications on the maximum power of the PCIe modules is very spotty at best, and some have NO Listed power requirements ?
 
Has anyone looked into the power requirements of the original 60gb (or optional 128gb) eMMC  modules ?

A BIG PLUS to the Pinebook Pro, is its relatively long battery life,     It would be a shame to drastically reduce the run time,
  just to get a small improvement in boot up time.  (?)

I purchased an ADATA XPG SX6000 LITE PCIe module in anticipation to improving my PBP's performance,  It appears to have lower power requirements than some of the available PCIe modules...
     BUT if it needs more power than the eMMC,  maybe I should just find a different purpose for this PCIe module ?

           THANKS for any advice and/or suggestions  !
