## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I hook my boot drive to this card?**
A: First I booted up with the empty card. after windows installed it, I shut my computer down and pluged in my ssd drive. then started up in cmos, to see if it was their, it was. Every thing booted fine. So i ran a speed test and found that it ran 60% slower than my 1.5 onboard sata. Even though it showed as a 6g it does not have the speed. So i now use it for my cd rom. I there is some settings i missed, sure would like to know.

**Q: Can I use this as a boot drive?**
A: If your motherboard has UEFI Firmware with NVMe support then yes you can boot a compatible OS like Windows 8.1/10 64bit or a modern Linux.From Startechs Websitehttps://www.startech.com/faq/hard_drive_accessories_m2_u2_boot_an_os#PEX4M2E1https://www.startech.com/faq/hard_drive_accessories_m2_u2_compatibility#PEX4M2E1https://www.startech.com/faq/hard_drive_accessories_m2_compatibility_no_sata#PEX4M2E1The following article also gives a good overview of the requirementshttps://tinkertry.com/how-to-boot-win10-from-samsung-950-pro-nvme-on-superserver

**Q: SATA ignoramus question. I assumed the two slots were standard USB. But I can't seem to wiggle any USB device plugs into the slots. Standard slots?**
A: Sorry, the two slots are NOT standard USB slots.  Although, they may look similar they are not.  They are both eSATA ports, a kind of USB hybrid.  Used to connect external drives.  They are faster than USB or the older fire-wire.  Look for an external hard drive that uses eSATA.  For speed, eSATA is a huge jump over USB. It can be as fast as adding a hard drive straight into your computer.

**Q: Will this work on dell r720 with vmware 6.5.x??**
A: The NVMe adapter works fine on a Dell R720 with VMware 7.0 installed.
