Review on 🔌 Sintech M.2 (NGFF) NVME SSD to M.2 A/E Key WiFi Port Adapter with 20cm Cable (M.2 - PCIe 1X Lane) by Louis Loebis

I had serious doubts if this would work with the Dell OptiPlex 5060 Micro Desktop as the only literature available said that the M.2 WiFi slot was for WiFi and Bluetooth only. I checked visually that this is a slot for an electronic key. The description of this adapter states that it only works with the dongle slot if the SSD is NVMe. It also requires a PCIe lane in the slot, which I haven't been able to verify. The only M.2 SSDs I had are SATA, so I bought a cheap Samsung PM991 M.2 NVMe SSD for this adapter. I assembled the adapter and NVMe SSD and UEFI recognized them on first boot. I tested Windows 10 from USB and everything worked great. I now have 2 SSDs in my Dell Micro Desktop. (3 can be set if I'm using a SATA connection.) Now the obvious question is: why should I? I set up this computer as a VMware ESXi host. By using all three onboard memory slots, I can use the slowest SSD (the one used by this adapter) for booting, scratching, and core dumping. SATA disk connector for local vSAN capacity tier; and the fastest M.2 SATA SSD in an M.2 SSD slot as a local vSAN caching layer without having to disable the USB arbiter and use a slower USB drive.
