nVME crashes system

[mamboman777]

This review+price was a big reason I went for it.  I've read several places that it's pretty efficient. It's peak rating is m much lower than the Samsung. That being said... It is QLC. So it may not be for everyone, but according to most reviews I've seen, the average user won't notice other than it may need to be replaced sooner. ?. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/int...,5719.html

I added an entry for it in the compatibility page, (the 1TB model, as we had a 512GB model already). Feel free to update with the model number and other comments you have. Here is a direct link;

Wiki - Pinebook Pro Hardware Accessory Compatibility - NVMe SSD drives

As usual, feel free to correct, improve or comment, (good or politely bad).

Please let me know if there's anything specific that you would like to know.  I ran
 sudo nvme id-ctrl /dev/nvme0 to find the power state ratings. 
PS 0: 4.00W
PS 1: 3.00W
PS 2: 2.20W
PS 3: .0300W
PS 4 .0040W 

PS 4 is the same  as the Samsung 970.  1, 2 & 3 are marginallyless, but PS 0 is where I think the Samsung 970 was causing crashes.  It's PS 0 was 9W.  The intel 660p's is 4W....5W less!!!

Do you know the command for verifying that apst is enabled and working?

 from Arch Wiki
assuming you have nvme-cli installed:

sudo  nvme get-feature -f 0x0c -H /dev/nvme[0-9]

should be good for any kernel >= 4.11 

I have a mydigital SBX eco (80--so I hacked off part of the adapter with a hacksaw...).  which is a low pwer dramless device and has been running well for weeks now.    It shows APST enabled.....   I don't notice any extraordinary power usage even when running disk tests.   I'm running on Manjaro, using the new SPI mainline Flash, booting the EMMC with root on the NVME.

I run a Samsung pm981 on a rockpro64,  and its gets hot enough that I decided it wouldn't be a good candidate for the notebook.   I thought that Sabrent had also dramless disks,  but couldn't find a single-sided one.

Ran this test on my Intel 660p.  It's showing APSTE Disabled.  I wonder how and if I should try to get it working?
