You mean 3.3V (since M.2 is 3.3V only)? It's trivial to convert 12V to 3.3V tbh

  No, I mean if you look at 2.5" SSDs with datasheets specifying the operating voltages, they will commonly specify 5 volts. Intel SSD 530? "5.0V SATA Supply Rail" [1] Seagate 600 SSD? "+5V Max" [2] Toshiba SG5? "Supply Voltage 5.0 V ±5%" [3] Swissbit X-60? "5V± 10% (3.3 V available upon request)" [4] Apacer SV250-25? "5.0V ±10%" [5] So the statement that "12V is the defacto standard for powering pretty much anything these days" isn't accurate in the case of 2.5" SSDs. I acknowledge desktop computers often supply 12v to the motherboard and graphics card, of course! (Some 2.5 inch SSDs, like the Micron 5100 Series use both 5v and 12v [6] - and I agree that M.2 is 3.3v only) [1] https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/product-specifications/ssd-530-sata-specification.pdf https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents...
