I have only one NVMe M.2 slot on my motherboard; which is being used by my SSD. I have a 32GB Intel Optane lying around. Can I use it with a NVMe M.2 PCIe Adapter [like Vantec NVMe, M.2 SATA SSD PCIe x4 Adapter (UGT-M2PC200) OR StarTech.com PEX4M2E1 M.2 Adapter – x4 PCIe 3.0 NVMe – Low Profile and Full Profile – SSD PCIE M.2 Adapter – M2 SSD – PCI Express SSD] for Optane Acceleration?
