On at least one rare occasion, a person accidentally bought a M.2 SATA drive. Not NVMe. Not saying that is the case here.
On the other hand, some people have bought high performing M.2 NVMe drives. Only to find out that it won't work in the Pinebook Pro because it also draws a ton of power. And does not support power saving functions.
Further, their appears to be an occasional problem with the SoC running at PCIe 2.x speeds, (5Gbps). Some people have limited their PCIe lanes to 1.x speeds, (2.5Gbps), and then had perfect reliability. Still pretty decent performance compared to the eMMC or SD card. (4 lanes of PCIe 1.x @ 2.5Gbp, minus the protocol overhead of 20%, still gives 8Gbps / 1GBps speed.)
Thanks for the reply mate. Here is my drive:
