SSD for PBP

Any suggestions for information additional to the wiki we should track?

If we use a spread sheet, then I'd suggest a column for firmware version. People who don't know how to get it, can leave it blank.

Ideally, we would eventually document how, (per device), to set a maximum power setting. My current miniature desktop has 2 NVMes in it. One shows this from "smartctl -a";

Code:

Supported Power States
St Op     Max   Active     Idle   RL RT WL WT  Ent_Lat  Ex_Lat
0 +     9.00W       -        -    0  0  0  0        0       0
1 +     4.60W       -        -    1  1  1  1        0       0
2 +     3.80W       -        -    2  2  2  2        0       0
3 -   0.0450W       -        -    3  3  3  3     2000    2000
4 -   0.0040W       -        -    4  4  4  4     6000    8000

So I would prefer to set maximum power setting of 2, which is 3.8watts.

For my miniature desktop, power is not an issue. But if we can find and document how to reduce the power, even at the cost of speed, that might make a NVMe in the Pinebook Pro both more reliable, and increase battery life.
