I'm just not sure it's documented anywhere what controls. But I would not assume that the drivers in pCP7 (kernel 5.4) work. RPi doesn't test drivers, as they didn't write the originals, if they compile, RPi leaves them alone. It's really up to ApplePi to maintain the driver. For example

Probably any SSD should be ok but it's worth checking power consumption before buying as they differ more than you would expect. Some that are labelled "green" use more power than others not making that claim. No real need to worry about performance.

I've used an Audiophonics Power Management Module (PMM) for over 7 months with a Pi3 + LMS. It's been permanently powered on and the power switch only used a few times. It's used with the recommended power overlays. The first sign of something odd was that the Pi3 started to reboot randomly
