Saw this adapter in an eBay listing for a P5800X Optane SSD. Does anyone recognize this? Never seen something like it before. Looks like a m.2 to some kind of proprietary cable that I'm assuming then connects to the u.2 connector on the SSD.

Looks like one of these: M.2 M-key PCIe Gen4 with ReDriver to Gen-Z 1C(EDSFF) Adapter
I can't quite tell by eye if they just renamed MCIO to GenZ for no reason or if it's yet another new connector.

Sure, but the EDSFF spec doesn't define any board to cable connectors, they refer to a previous spec for that which doesn't mention EDSFF at all.
It's a circle of tech death.... unless someone has a specific niche need to swap connections or the only available PCIE lanes are from an M2 socket i wouldn't be putting too much effort into figuring out "why" it's being sold. I've had companies procure odd things because of a "need" to make something work. For instance a cable pitch adapter for a new laptop screen I wanted to use for 4K120. They got me a couple of them to make the sale on the higher priced panel.
It's kind of like you can use about 5 different adapters for the U.x drives and convert them to/from different specs and still get the speed. Sometimes it's easier to just not ask questions.

It says "Gen Z", so I suppose it won't work... (SCRN)
