In case someone battling making NAS with large NVMEs... I'm almost 100% sure that 1A@5V(5.00W) is not enough for powering them. Example below is from 4x(Shenzhen Longsys Electronics Co., Ltd. Lexar NM790 NVME SSD (DRAM-less) (rev 01)).
```

After 2 days battling this is a `partial` workaroung I found working almost stable using RaidZ1(in RaidZ2 setup NAS still hangs after seconds when loaded).
With this command you are saying NVME drive to use power modes <=2. ``` nvme set-feature /dev/nvme0 --feature-id=2 --value=2 ```
You can check current power mode starus like this. ``` nvme get-feature /dev/nvme0 -f 2 get-feature:0x02 (Power Management), Current value:0x00000004 ```
More info when available.
