About M.2 SFF Flash Adapter with 2x UFF HDD cage for DL20 Gen10

[mysy]

I get two HPE SFF Flash Adapter (815605-B21) with Dual Micro Form Factor uFF , try to use them for my DL20 G10 home server, but after I install 2 480G hpe oem m.2 sdd, it only could read the left slot M.2 SDD from my server. I put two m.2 SDD(ngff SATA protocol) inside. My DL20 G10 have E208i-a HBA card(Mini SAS×2) for the 4x 2.5 sff slot.  When I put those two same m.2 SDD to other PC .both them are working fine. 

 

I search the document that this uff adapter is use for BL480 server.  I want to know if any way could use it with my DL20 G10 server and E208i HBA mode.  

If not enable to support two SSD in one 2.5 sff slot, I plan to sell it in China local e-mark taobao and get other bigger SATA 2.5 SSD directly.

Thanks.

I plan get other 875581-b21 nvme 22110 960G for my DL20 G10. keep the 2.5sff with intel SSD and 2T 2.5 HDD.

Just use for homelab study, specific model is too expensive for personal user.
