Hhmmm... You're stressing the memory talking about a board this old (launched in 2015)...
There were multiple NUC5 products and some of these had multiple SKUs. You really shouldn't refer to any NUC product using just a generation indicator.
Keying off the use of the word 'board', I am presuming that you are talking about the MY (Maple Canyon, NUC5i#MYBE) board products. In this case, here's what I can tell you about its HS-CSH:
- It does indeed provide the signals necessary to utilize the SOC's second SATA lane.
- I do not believe that there was any BIOS support for bifurcation of the included PCIe lanes, which means that they must be utilized as a set. That is, only a single device can be connected; the lanes cannot be used individually to support multiple devices.
- As mentioned in the TPS, the connector used is the Kyocera Series 6885 0.4 mm pitch FPC connector, p/n 00 6885 640 000 846. I have no information regarding cables and I have never heard of any productized assemblies. You might want to ask the folks at Micro SATA Cables or GORITE whether they ever did a SATA assembly for this connector.
Hope this helps,
...S

Thanks Bro,
Indeed, it is NUC5I5MYBE, really old model, I plan to use it as a NAS. since i read the manual, seems the M.2 2280 header is only support SATA but no NVME, cannot be extended SATA ports thru Nvme. that's why i look for other solutions, I just wondering can i use this
High Speed custom solutions conncetor to extend SATA ports, or can i have your kind advises for that? to extend sata....
Thanks you very much!

I am not an expert, but I will attempt to lay out what you need to do. The SATA pins in the connector are isolated from the PCIe pins by a couple of reserved pins. Here is the fairly simple connect from the HS-CSC to a standard SATA (cable) connector:
HS-CSC | SATA |
1 | 2 |
2 | 3 |
3 | 1, 4 |
4 | 5 |
5 | 6 |
6 | 7 |
Hope this helps,
...S
