I'm still waiting for my Pinebook pro to arrive, so in the meantime I've been reading through the wiki and forums. This is truly incredible. I haven't been this excited about tech and linux in years!
I haven't been able to test the drive in the Pinebook Pro yet, but I have what I think is the 1 TB version of the NVME referenced in the OP. However, since I run Linux on my main desktop I am able to see the power requirements for the drive per the instructions in Post NVMe install power limiting in the wiki. In the example in the wiki, the lowest power draw that would still keep the drive active was 3.8 watts. If I'm reading the output of nvme-cli correctly the Intel drive I have will work on an even lower power setting of 2.2 watts! Here is the abbreviated output from sudo nvme id-ctrl /dev/nvme0
Once I'm able to confirm compatibility with the Pinebook pro, I'll post back here and add it to the compatible hardware section of the wiki. One thing I would suggest would be to add a column listing the lowest power draw that keeps the respective drive active.
The description for the drive on Newegg reads: Intel 660p Series M.2 2280 1TB PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 3D2, QLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDPEKNW010T8X1
