Next time an order is placed we will get one to test.
Did find the problem with the M2x board, it was my fault. The heatsink on the NVMe cooler was just a little bit lower and was touching one of the components near the connector. Cut down the heatsink bracket and it works really good.
Its getting 859 Mbs and .04 msec access time using gnome-disk-utility.
I will look into the USB boot issue again, now ts configured emmc and NVMe. Did not realize the emmc was that fast. Not sure if SSD boot will be needed.
It would be nice if the board would boot from the NVMe, maybe in the future??
