While not technically the same I have a 2007 IBM laptop which I fitted
an IDE to Sata converter (plugin type) and then fitted a Sata SSD drive.
All fitted into the drive bay. Works perfectly, faster than the old IDE
but not as quick as Sata SSD and I can boot from it.

Hi Peter,
You'll likely not be able to boot from NVME on a system that old, and you
probably don't have NVME slots either, but that can be fixed with a PCIE to
NVME adaptor card, if you have a free PCIE slot.
A while ago back when I had an older computer, I booted it from NVME using
Clover and wrote a blog post about it, let me know if you want a link.

I see that Elf is selling for £12 and It makes me wonder if my system will
support these as the manual for my P8Z77-v Motherboard is dated 2012.

256GB M.2 SSD 2280 Drive, PCIe NVMe, Assorted Brands,
Any thoughts on that, or for that price is it worth trying?
