[TIP] Orange PI 5 Max - PCI-E NVME usage

[thiagolinhares]

Hi folks.
Just a tip on something I spent few days trying to figure out and ultimately found out the issue.

My Orange Pi 5 Max was not working properly with an NVME. The disk would come and go at its will. Sometimes working, sometimes not. SDCard worked fine all the time.

After spending few days on it and even having nightmares about it, I had a breakthrough this morning while in the toilet.
PCI-E NVME draws more energy. I was using a mobile charger up to 2A, which clearly was not enough. Replacing it with a more powerful one of 4A magically solved the issue.

Hope this helps someone.
