Makes OWC Aura Pro X NVMe drive bootable on Mac Pro 2009

This is the only card I could find that would allow me to reuse the OWC NVMe I bought a few years ago in my Mac Pro. My cMP is flashed 4.1 to 5.1 and then to bootdisk 144 which supports NVMe boot. For the price I wasn't expecting much from this adapter, but after decrypting NVMe and selecting it as the boot drive in Mojave, it boots and is the system drive now! This is an old version of the Aura Pro X so read/write speeds are only around 1000Mbps but it was still a huge upgrade for this 11 year old computer!

Pros

SSD formatted in Mac OS system can't be compatible with Microsoft system, so new SSD without partition, SSD can't show in My Computer table, please use Manager drives in Windows to delete old partitions and create a new partition.

Cons

Expensive
