Another thing I vaguely recall is what is the power profile of your NVMe
device? Some draw too much power for the PinebookPro.
I had originally tested two different NVMe; one simply did not work at
all, and one did. There is some more information here:
https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pinebook_Pro_Hardware_Accessory_Compatibility#NVMe_SSD_drives
There is a command nvmectl that you can use to adjust your NVMe to use a
lower power profile by default, but I have not experimented with it
recently, as I ended up just using the NVMe that did not draw much power
out-of-the-box. The high-performance ones, unsurprisingly, tend to draw
more power, so picking one that has a slower speed *might* help.
