[SOLVED] Dual NVME to PCIe Adapters?

[Genralkidd]

I found a few really cheap dual M.2 to PCIe adapters on eBay and was thinking of getting one to use 2x Optane M10 SSDs as a scratch disk. Question is, how do these adapters actually work? Do they run the two SSDs in RAID 0 mode? Or do they show up as 2 separate drives and I'd have to combine them myself? Also is there any significant performance penalty with these adapters or anything I should watch out for?

These are the adapters I'm looking at on eBay:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/M-2-NGFF-t...134086?hash=item4697c75646:g:e-UAAOSwPB9dTTbb

Are either of those any good at all and suitable for my use case? I've been told Optane can run as a standard high speed SSD so I was hoping I'd be able to combine 2 smaller Optane modules into a larger scratch disk for some projects I'm working on that could benefit from something like that.

It houses two M2 drives.
One of which is NVME and uses PCIe & the other is SATA and uses the sata cable that plugs into the end of the card. A Sata M2 drive is no faster then it's 2.5" version that we've had around for years. its just in a different physical form.

You won't be making a raid from these.
