I will need to have another look at that adapter card. it seemed that most of the pins are not used, only those at one end go to the m.2 socket.scsijon wrote:The Adapter card you got is a pci-e X16 interface card usually used for adding a first nvme or a second nvme to allow for raid 0 and 1 and therefore automaps to match your existing nvme if you have one installed.
As you already had a nvme installed and didn't want the raid function, you should have got a X4 card which would have assigned a different configuration and looks like https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/Con ... ORICO-PSM2 and used the x4 slot.
You should still be able to separate them in the 'bios' firmware though, if your firmware allows two independant nvme 'drives'. You may need to update it though.
I couldn't see anything in the uefi bios for separating them.
The uefi setup doesn't even see the nvme drive plugged into the adapter card, so I cannot boot from it. I tried, with an esp fat32 partition in that drive, but it isn't seen at bootup.
After bootup, both are seen, and everything is working fine.
