booting an m.2 SSD (Intel 520) using m.2-to-PCIe adapter?

[mrjayviper]

so I have an Intel 520 m.2 card. It's my OS disk. I am currently using an m.2-to-SATA adapter so I can connect it to my Intel X58 motherboard.

I want to connect it an m.2-to-PCIe adapter so I can free up a SATA port for more storage (RAID).

This is the description for the m.2-to-PCIe adapter: "Adapter card support Socket2 (Gen2) B+M key PCIe x2 M.2 NGFF SSD and Socket3 (Gen3) M key PCIe x4 M.2 NGFF SSD to PCIe x4 "

Is what I want possible? Thanks.

You have an M.2 SATA drive, and you have it hooked up to an M.2 SATA to SATA adapter, and then to a standard mobo SATA port?

I think that you would be a bit disappointed if you trying to connect an M.2 SATA drive, to an M.2 PCI-E, PCI-E plug-in card. It pretty-much only routes the PCI-E lanes, from the plug-in slot to the M.2 sockets. There are no SATA connections along that path.

You would need an add-in card, that has a PCI-E SATA controller card and BIOS onboard, to run an M.2 SATA SSD in a PCI-E slot with a card.

I think that Addonics might have something like that.
