@kkarhan mPCIe doesn't have 5V on it.

@kkarhan The T620 plus has effectively less space in it due to the fan tray for the PCIe slot. I've got a few of those with 10G SFP+ NICs in the PCIe slot since the 1GbaseT NIC ended up being the gating item for performance. |
@kwf okay, and since you don't want to be stuck on USB 2.0 speeds, you still need to splice 5V DC from USB.
So unless one were to solder - like you did, only a MiniPCIe to SATA-6G adaptor would've been an option.

The "thiccer" #hp #t620Plus would've had a #PCIe x4 slot and even more space as well as said mSATA slot populated.
If I had a 3D printer I would've likely made a custom lid with space to house more drives and an HBA:
