Raid 0 question for a scratch disk and media cache drive?

[NEOAethyr]

Nvme can be raided, but I don't know if it can be done from the bios.
I think there's addon boards for that, the dual slotted m2's.
But I don't know.
Soft raid would work, but in windows I would go the hardware/driver route.

Ssd's would be a for sure way of doing it.
It's just that the MAX perf won't be as good as a m2.
Avg perf will probably be around the same though.

If you go raid 0, or regardless, you should try to check them one by one 1st.
Or just wing it like most people do :\.
I fill up the drive with large files and check the window system admin logs, clearing them before hand.
Then look for errors after I filled the drive to the last cluster.
That does it for most drives.
I recently came across a batch of drives my roomate had that I could only find errors on with checksums (crc32's).
I had to checksum every file to make sure they all matched.
Anyways that how I test my drives, and I've never had an issue since.

One other issue with raid, if somehow you screw it up, the controller won't know which drive is the 1st drive and so on.
But that's not to hard to figure out with a hex editor and I wouldn't expect anyone to have to deal with that.

ANYWAYS...
If the drives check out ok, raid 0 will be just fine.
Do note that the cpu % usage may go up a bit with them.

Edit:
Btw my little brother is using a raid setup from, maybe 10 years ago or so.
I dn it's been so long, the amd 1090t on a ch4f motherboard.
The same 2x1tb wd modded greens drives, still going strong.
Been raided in mode 0 the whole time.
PCI-e bus set to 150mhz too.
