    MP 1,1-5,1 cMP: MacOS + Bootcamp off Single PCIe Card?

    Can anyone confirm if I can run 2 bootable drives (Mac + Windows separately) off a single PCIe card, if I intend to clone the Bootcamp partition before popping it in the adapter? They're plain old SATA SSD drives.

    Cross platform file systems (Mac, Linux, Windows)
