HP IO Accelerator in ESXi 6.5

This is something that I never thought I'd get my hands on, due to the way the used market is right now. But, since I have the device in-hand, I'll be better off learning about how to use it 🙂 I recently picked up an HPE PCIe ioDuo MLC I/O Accelerator (641255-001), and would like to know if this device can be used for Virtual Flash. If not, how should I go about utilising this accelerator in ESXi 6.5 U3? I'm open to suggestions.

No wonder I wasn't able to find any compatibility info about this device. This entry looked close:


But, that could be a variant from a different vendor/OEM. I guess I'll be the beta tester, to see what it can do...
