Thank you for checking. Did you actually turn the laptop off and on while testing the behavior of those two SMART parameters? A reboot alone, without powering off and on, might not be enough for those two parameters to be reset by the NVMe drive.
Speaking about the two available power inputs, the barrel port and the Type-C PD port, PineBook Pro can actually draw a slightly higher current from the barrel port, compared with the Type-C PD port. That's the way the PineBook Pro's internal charging circuitry is actually configured. With that in mind, using the barrel port is actually less likely to cause any power-related issues.
It would be great if you could manage to perform the additional testing, as you've described it. Previous reports on the issues caused by the instability of PCIe Gen2 speed had different error messages than yours, but everything can be checked only through the additional testing.
