SSD for PBP

[User 11436]

The Intel 660p seems to be that unicorn; cheap and 0.1W according to https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/...2-qlc.html . That power consumption seems shockingly low, so who knows how accurate it really is, but one would *think* that Intel knows how to measure it properly.

Thanks, it is only available in 2TB, 1TB, and 512GB.

Here is more information about the WD Blue SN500 which has a different edge-connector:

Here is more information about the WD Black SN750 NVMe SSD:

It looks like most manufacturers are using this https://bapco.com/products/mobilemark-2014/ or this https://bapco.com/products/mobilemark-2018/ which only runs on Windows.  If there is a similar testing application that runs under Linux on the PBP, that might help early SSD adopters share useful information.

Following this thread, and reviewing the datasheets with limited data (avg R/W in what Atemp, R/W load? ). My guesses we should have a "Best Bet" suggestions and all the early adopters run tests and/or extracts from Smart . 

Ill keep my eye on the price for Intel® SSD 660p @ $36 USD for 128 and $54 USD for 256 not bad for a give it a shot hardware.

Hi, I know the bandwidth is beyond the PBP's upper limit of around 1.5GB/s, but has anyone considered the Intel 760p NVMe SSDs?

Looking at the 512GB drive, power draw is stated as 25mW while Idle, and 50mW while active. Sounds almost perfect. Comes in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1024GB and 2048GB variants, priced from $57--$399.
