[MinnowBoard] How do I know if there is power going to my Silverjaw lure?

[Vasanthi, Jagatha]

My pleasure! I'd like to take this opportunity to ask all of you experts on your opinion about PCIe attached NVMe SSDs for the Minnowboard Max.

I'm interested in understanding the usecases/projects where it would be useful to choose PCIe SSDs over SATA attached storage. Has SATA usually been enough for a majority of the minnow projects? Is there a growing need for better performing storage devices ?

I'm also thinking about creating a PCIe lure so I can attach the SSD directly  instead of using the silverjaw lure and adapter. Would that be useful to other users?

Thanks!
Vasanthi
