Sell this hardware with a crappy Intel BIOS, and use this money to buy a coreboot-supported hardware - preferably, AMD-based. Problem solved!

Hello,
I am contacting you to ask for your opinion.
Weeks ago I bought an Intel NUC 11 N5105 (BNUC11ATKC40002 ). Since this board does not have any SATA port, I thought that I could use a SilverStone SST-ECS07 connected to the M.2 slot.
When I try to set up the sata adapter connected to my main PC ( ASUS Mainboard ROG Crosshair VIII Hero WI-FI), I have no problems seeing the drives and their partitions.... As soon as I try the same but in the NUC, then the drives are not found......lots of problems booting, and most of the time I am not even able to enter the original Intel BIOS.
I reached the Intel discord server and I was able to get some feedback from a NUC team member. You can see the communication with him at: https://discord.com/channels/554824368740630529/1076245516406493195
He was able to confirm the same issues on his side, that it is a problem with this specific model BIOS. And that on other models it works.
Sadly, he also gave me no realistic hopes of receiving a BIOS fix from Intel.
Since I cannot return the products back I am really sad to have just wasted lots of money on these things and not being able to use them.
This is when I came in contact with Coreboot.... this gave me a small light of hope....
Since I really do not know anything about this subject, neither if this would work on this specific motherboard..... I decided to ask for some opinions from you.
Hopefully you could give me some good news :)
Thank you very much and I wish you a good day.
Best regards, Sandro
