I have one of these on hand that's got all components except the storage modules. No SSDs and none of the mounts to hold them. Is it possible to just stick a 2.5" SATA SSD into the connections on the motherboard and get it up and running.

So in other words is a thousands of dollar paper weight?No, since the 2019 Mac Pro firmware is stored inside the NAND module(s). Without a properly configured NAND module, the Mac Pro won't eve power on.

Don't know if second hand modules will. I any case you will need another mac to restore them through Apple Configurator.
Can you get 3rd party ones or do any sell in the UK? I don’t see any on eBay at all and apparently Apple don’t sell them anymore.No, since the 2019 Mac Pro firmware is stored inside the NAND module(s). Without a properly configured NAND module, the Mac Pro won't eve power on.

This user seems to have one working and in their photo, it doesn’t have an ssd module in it:

Dos dude is amazing but i was thinking the same, he can't do anything in this situation.Check what exactly? The firmware is stored inside the NAND module, without it you can't power on.
You are mistaken, NAND modules are located on the backside of the logic board:

Just one NAND module instaled, second slot empty.
AH! This is not what I was talking about! I was talking about the Storage module that sits on the front!
I never said the NAND modules are missing though. I said the Storage Module on the front is missing.

I was under the impression that there should be some form of module here for SSDs etc.
He posted a video on how to put firmware on brand new nand modules. Not easy but possible.Check what exactly? The firmware is stored inside the NAND module, without it you can't power on.
If you are talking about Mac Studio modules, that @gilles_polysoft developed, won't work with 2019 Mac Pro.
I upgraded both my Mac Pro 7.1 machines with brand new Apple SSD-kits. It is easy, as tsialex is trying to tell you. He is absolutely correct.He posted a video on how to put firmware on brand new nand modules. Not easy but possible.

I think we all did with the terminology used. It seems OP is missing a drive mount. I am not sure Apple ever made one, but third party drive mounts exists and through Apple you can buy this one:Removed
