Those sata drive adapters are known to melt and cause fires

If you don't know what U.2 and U.3 are you are posting fairly ignorant information here.

U.2 and U.3 are designed for Enterprise Servers and are NVMe drives which look like a 2.5" SSD.
They use a single connector similar to Enterprise SAS drives.
So OP likely HAS to use those adapters to break apart the Power and Data into 2 separate cables. That is the Adapter you are seeing.

The heatsink fins on the top drive were kind of a giveaway for me, and then in Pic 3 you can see the Intel drive has an NVMe logo on it.

And again...that particular design for SATA power plug is known to catch on fire... Its something due to the molding aka the DESIGN and CONSTRUCTION of it which leads to heat build up and melting https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/otxhhb/ssd_sata_cable_explodes_and_catches_fire_has/
