MP 1,1-5,1 Mac Pro 5.1 Sata & NVMe combination PCie card?

[Boomish69]

Can anyone recommend a Sata III & NVE blade PCIE card? I use two separate cards at the moment & it would be great to get a slot back for USB 3 options.
It's been a while since I put the existing cards in , I spent hours searching yesterday & could only find a Sata & SSD blade card , I don't use the blade for boot but a work drive so want the NVMe speed. The data card I use has 2 Sata connectors & East ports at the back but these have proved to be unreliable so I'd like to find something that works best for both.

Many thanks in advance for any help with this

The cards you see frequently see on auction sites that have both SATA and NVMe connectors don't have a SATA controller at all, so you have to connect it to the Mac Pro SATA II connector (via a SATA cable from the Mac Pro SATA port to the card SATA connector) to have the M.2 SATA blade working. This type of card was made for someone that already have a M.2 SATA blade and want to use it with the desktop and not to connect SATA 2,5/3,5" drives.

Forget it, you won't have any benefit using this type of card.

AFAIK no one ever released a NVMe and SATA card that have a SATA controller on board besides this one from Synology M2D18 that is very expensive, also very slow since it's PCIe v2.0 and limited to less than 1500MB/s, and you can't use any SATA 2.5/3,5" drives with it, just M.2 SATA blades.

Many thanks Tsialex, that’ll be why I can’t find one then weird I would have thought it would be popular , maybe not possible to make.
I’ll see if I can source a better Sata card with USB 3 then the eSata outs my current is useless.
