Has your NVMe affected your battery at all?

Upon installation and first boot, everything seemed hunky-dory and normal. I took it to work, as usual, and noticed more battery drain than normal. After poking around with nvme-cli, I learned that drive doesn't have ideal power consumption or power savings settings for the PBP.

That might explain why their presales department still hasn't answered my question on the subject.  Too bad.  It looked so promising!

Just out of curiosity, did you save the text of the listing of power states from nvme-cli before you returned the drive?

Speaking of promising but untested 2242 drives, I just ordered a Lexar NM520 M.2 2242 256GB NVMe drive from Amazon for $50.  I'll post the nvme-cli results as soon as I get it into a machine.  I was hoping to get the 120 GB model for $30 but it went out of stock.
