Pop a Samsung 960 inside that guy and you'd have a
Flash drive to die for!

Â*Â* "Ganesh

Â*Â*Â* Would be a risky buy. Very few NVMe SSDs (actually none come
Â*Â*Â* to my mind) that can operate below the 4.5W limit of USB 3.1 Gen 2.

Â*Â*Â* Only TB3 ports are guaranteed to supply higher power (or the
Â*Â*Â* Gen 2 port must support higher PD profile)
Â*Â* "

Maybe a USB C connector on the host system could do that ?

Where the risk might come in, would be when cobbling
together a regular USB3 connector to the USB C.

Since the NVMe runs at half speed, that may have
a small effect on power consumption.

Yikes!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB-C#USB_Power_Delivery

VBUS and GND provide 5 V up to 900 mA, in accordance with
the USB 3.1 specification. A specific USB-C mode may
also be entered, where 5 V up to 3 A is provided

For the Samsung 960:


https://www.samsung.com/semiconducto...nsumer/ssd960/


AVERAGE POWER CONSUMPTION
(System Level)3)

Typ. 5.1 Watts (512 GB)
Typ. 5.3 Watts (1024 GB)
Typ. 5.8 Watts (2048 GB)

5.8 W / 5 Volts = 1.16 amps.

So, a C connector would be required.

Sure hope I don't have to clone one of these pretty soon!
