I notice that one of these adapters is available to add extra storage.

Will the Pinebook Pro accept a 2TB module?
I assume this unit is installed inside the Pinebook Pro. Will there be instructions posted on the wiki?
A 2TB SSD should be no issue. There will also likely be installation instructions available.

In another related thread, there was some discussion of power usage. The PBP is on the low end of power supply, so it may be possible that some of the NVME SSDs may use too much power. Just saying.
There probably should be a power budget specification for the NVME adapter.

Those SSDs are only going to get anywhere near their maximum current draw when under heavy write load. Given that they will only be under those conditions for a short period of time, I wouldn't be too worried about draining the battery or overloading the PSU.
But for information's sake, the 3.3V regulator which is responsible for supplying the NVMe adapter can handle up to 8.25W momentarily, and isn't put under significant load by much else in the system.

I'm not seeing much info on where this NVMe adapter is located - does the NVMe card still fit (securely) within the PBP? I've got a spare 256GB which I'm intending on installing.
FWIW, the Intel 660p drives are *really* cheap, and only draw 0.1W. Seems like a perfect match.
Is there some kind of upper limit in terms of throughput for the NVMe on the SoC side of things? I assume if you get some fancy Intel Optane thing it'll start to hit some other system limits
And similarly for the mSD. Is there an upper limit to the class that is supported? (past which you won't see any perf benefit)
