I'm getting ~ 180 MB/s on a Samsung SM8?? which hits around 3 GB/s on a desktop. I'm using a 5.1V 3.5A supply so that ought not be the issue (but I'll try another PSU now). Horse Creek would be nice - should it ever become available for purchase. EDIT: Well, I'm shocked. With a far more beefy supply (12.3V/0.7A) I now hit 295+ MB/s, not great but so much better than before. Thanks for the hint.

Interesting data, thanks!

  Nobody called me on my nonsense so I will: The 5.1V 3.5A = 17.8W was the PSU _rating_ whereas the 12.1V 0.7A = 8.5 W was actually _meassured_. I’m not a EE and I don’t understand the power section of that board, but something to look out for.

    Yes, it didn't seem to make sense butI figured it was a typo and the more important thing was the increased SSD speed. What is the rating of your bigger supply? And presumably what you were measuring is the average Amps/Watts, not the peak.

      Exactly. The bigger supply is the (excellent) https://pine64.com/product/pinepower-120w-desktop-power-supply-us-version/ https://pine64.com/product/pinepower-120w-desktop-power-supp... and the output I used is rated as: 65W Output/5V3A, 9V3A, 12V3A, 15V3A, 20V3.25A
