SSD for PBP

[Arwen]

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.

They look good. Wish they had specified the burst power draw.

It does appear that the use one of the NVME lower power settings. We, (us Pinebook Pro owners that use NVMEs), may have to investigate how to enable lower power settings at boot. May cost a little performance, but the benefits will likely outweigh the cost. (Reduced heat and increased battery life.)

Of course, now I have to re-visit my avoidance of Intel products, (due to the massive CPU security problems that they created in their need to produce faster CPUs than their competition).
