Topic: Can I boot from an mPCIe to USB adapter?

After coming across the Security mods offered by RetroFreedom,
https://retrofreedom.com/product/security-mods/
I'm weighing my options here.

One of the mods is a USB to SATA Adapter which, unfortunately, means you have to carry the hard drive separately from your computer and plug it in every time you boot it up.

Technoethical offers an mPCIe to USB adapter which replaces the mPCIe wi-fi card so I wondered that maybe I can plug an NVMe drive to it and boot from that.

I just want to know if anybody knows its possible.
Thanks.

I think Hyperbola can also boot from an usb SD card reader, as well as a usb flash drive, so maybe it can also boot from a NVMe drive using a usb port.

I installed Hyperbola using an usb SD card reader like I used an usb flash drive.

Please do not revive old threads, create new ones if issues or / and questions persist.

Human being in favor with clear principles and so also for freedom in soft- and hardware!

Certainly anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices: For a life of every being full with peace and kindness, including diversity and freedom. Capitalism is destroying our minds, the planet itself and the universe in the end!
