I stumbled on this and got led down an all day rabbit hole that ended with me successfully booting my old backup server from an NVME drive. Nicely done and thanks for the links to the forums as that was instrumental.

Your videos are a breath of fresh air, love x58, love mac pro stuff. I had a wee browse of your videos :) keep up the great work

Oh man, been waiting for this.

Equipping an NVME PCIe SSD (capped at 2.5 GB/s) on an X58 board? What a novel way to keep the old platforms alive!

fantastic work!

You are a technological angel! Thanks!!

I'm SOOOOO glad I found this, I came across the guys vid earlier today and was a bit lost.. Great vid explaining everything and will be sure to get a bios sorted asap.. Thank you !! Sub'd liked

I ended up taking out nvme on the x58 and put it in my SR-2. You’ll see why in part 3…all three pcie slots are filled now with something 😁

@@cs.studios I know the adapter you got there, has a on board chip to allow use of the 2 nvme. But I see cheaper ones that have 2 nvme - would the that be seen as 1 drive with them.. Or would they only work on a board with Bifurcation.. Any help, suggestions welcome.

What a blessed video the lord is great

Dang im really interested in doing this. i love x58 platforms. I wonder if i can do this with a gigabyte x58-ud5

Wow...those speeds look unreal to me. I thought x58 can't surpass 2gb/s. Nice work 😊

It’s an expensive card that converts pcie 2.0 x8 into a pcie 3.0 x4 so it runs at full speeds

@@cs.studios Hi ! Very nice upgrade ! Can you please elaborate on what in the specification makes the card run at full speed / faster than the cheap model? Is it because it's "dual" (but I thought its not related as it's for 2 NVME drives)? I'd like to be able to understand what to look for in the specifications so I can pick my own model of adapter. Is it simply the speed, regardless of single/dual? Thanks !

Sweet just got an X5680 for $15 to throw on my old sabertooth w/ 48 gb ECC DDR3 1333. Going to see if I can get this thing to play Diablo 4 w/ a newer graphics card and 1 TB NVME. Wish me luck!

Nice, it should play anything that doesn’t require AVX with a modern gpu

Would this be possibly for intel dq45cb?

Isn't that PCIe port 2.0? How are you getting full speed 3300mb/s?

It's such a shame the original DUET/REFIND guides all seem to be gone, especially the one from years ago that was IIRC on the win-raid forums. I just tried the latest guide and refind hangs on "xxxxxx bytes of system memory tested OK"...
