M.2 SSDs for Laptops (programming.dev)

So back a few years ago the SK hynix Gold P31 was the GOAT for laptops due to the low idle wattages and low usage wattages. This allowed you to squeeze about 10% extra battery life out of your laptop.

Is that still considered the best M.2 drives for laptops in terms of power usage?

Looks like the P31 outperforms in pure power usage still while being fast enough.
