Can I hook my boot drive to this card?

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.

Can I use this as a boot drive?

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

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?

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.

Will this work on dell r720 with vmware 6.5.x??

The NVMe adapter works fine on a Dell R720 with VMware 7.0 installed.
