As with all SSDs, new media must be formatted before use
Performance depends on host system, workload, and SSD media used
SSDs use exceptionally high performance storage media that will run hot when under load
Older SSD drives with less efficient flash media may not perform as well as newer drives
We only test it on Raspberry pi, not test on the Rock64; But in fact, Rock64 can fully play the performance of USB3 since Rock64 with USB 3.0;

Power supply request
