Howdy,

There is an M.2 adapter (its a USB to SATA M.2). So not NVME but a SATA drive - 



























































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































still much better than a stick or the SD card.

I read somewhere that the UEFI boot can be put on the USB drive now (doesnt 
need to be on the SD card) so I may try it out and see if I can do it. (I also 
recall reading from the ESXi install that the UEFI boot cannot be on the same 
USB device as ESXi, but I dont know if I read that incorrectly - doenst make 
sense to me). ESXi can boot from the SATA, so that part is OK.

BTW: I also discovered that somebody wrote a module to get expose the Pi's 
tempurature - but I cannot get it to install, so I may try with that as well 
since I see there is an ESXi build update since I installed.
