[SOLVED] Dual M2 PCIe adapter

[DexSK]

Hello folks, is there a manufacturer, offering PCIe Adapters for M2 SSDs, with dual PCIe M2 slots? I've seen adapter cards with dual slots, but one of them is always a SATA connection with an external cable going into one of the SATA port on the motherboard, I'd like to have two SSDs on one card because I only have a single free PCIe x16 slot.
I realize this would half the effective throughput of both drives, but I think it still will be more than if I'd go with the SATA option.
Thanks.

What motherboard is this going on?

That already has 1x M.2 port. What would these other drives be used for?

I've noted that I already use that port for my system drive, My System SSD is in that slot, I'd like to move my data drives (two 2TB HDDs) to NVMe, while also upgrading not just HDD to SSD but the interface from SATA to full NVMe. Dual 2TB sticks cost less than one 4TB as well. Just exploring options

For secondary drives, depending on specific use, there may not be a whole lot of difference between SATA III SSD and NVMe SSD.
Just something to think about.

I've got all my games installed on one of the HDDs, and also installers for programs, so speeding up the loading of this or that, and also generally exchanging my rather aging storage for newer pieces would be a huge plus for me

Thanks, didn't think of this myself, that's a very helpful video.
