MP 1,1-5,1 KyroM.2 evo install issues on MP 5,1 2010

[Kinklee]

Hi MacRumors,
I am hoping that someone can give me a bit of direction here. I recently purchased a 2nd hand KyroM.2 evo to use in my MacPro 5,1 2010. Its running Mojave 10.14.6 and its boot rom is 144.0.0.0.0. I have the card installed in slot 4 as I have an nVidia GeForce GTX 680 in slot 1 and 2. I have power going to the Kyro as evidenced by the orange LED's but there is no visibility on the System report. I have tried it without the NVME on the card but its still the same. Obviously as a result the is also no visibility of the NVME either. See attachments for system stats. Any help would be greatly appreciated to bring this excellent machine into the future.

regards and thanks
Kinklee

AquaComputer KryoM.2 is just a format conversion adapter, if you install it without a M.2 blade, nothing will be detected.

When a M.2 M key blade is installed, it will show in the SystemInformation PCI tab. Which M.2 blade you are trying to install?

Thank you so Much Alex for your reply. Its a Sandisk 512GB module. My Bro gave it to me and i just checked with hime and he said it came from a HP laptop. I have attached some files for you.

It's a SATA III M.2 blade, not PCIe. Won't work for you, this blade requires a SATA adapter, not a PCIe (NVMe/AHCI) one.

First post of the stickie thread have all blades tested with a Mac Pro.

PCIe SSDs - NVMe & AHCI

This is a general info thread for blade SSDs that can be used in the Mac Pro. This is a WikiPost so anyone with the proper credentials may edit it. NVMe SSDs can be used as a boot drive in the MP5,1 and MP6,1 with the latest firmware installed (beginning with version 140.0.0.0.0 for MP5,1 and...
