Hello to all the pro here. recent i had the following build :-

Intel 9900K CPU
MASTERLIQUID ML360R RGB
ROG MAXIMUS XI EXTREME
G.skill trident z royal (2x 8GB) 3000MHZ
cooler master COSMOS C700P
CM 1000V PSU
MSI GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER™ GAMING TRIO
2 set x deepcool MF120 / MF120S

Problem: understand my mainboard have 2 x M.2 slot + 2 x DIMM.2 (M.2 slot)
is it possible to Raid 0 all the Four M.2 ?

seeing the manual does not say much on both M.2 location Raid option

any advise is greatly appreciated.

A simple 2 nvme RAID will make your boot time faster but that's it. Might as well not waste on useless 4x RAID. Get 1 good 1TB nvme drive and a nice 4-8tb data backup drive.

if that is your purpose, why need to raid them? just get multiple SSD and install games on the 2nd SSD when the 1st one ran out of space

what double drive problem?

Raid 0 is probably the worst way to set your OS up, especially with 4 drives. No redundancy. Any one drive fails and the whole raid unit fails, and there's no significant increase in performance from it.

Like the others have mentioned. Just put your OS on one of the ssds and store your games on the others.

It's your money, so you can do whatever with it.

However, you do know that if you put 4 drives on raid 0, and if just one of them fails, all 4 fails, right?

You claim you're a noob and yet you want to play with raid.
