Questions about pcie ssd in a raid as a boot drive

So i want to get 2 950 pros 512gb and mount them on asus hyper m.2 x4 mini's.... raid 0 them and run my OS on them, is this possible or is raid0 only avaliable with software inside the OS?

Basicly i wanna set up a normal raid0 but with 950 pro m.2 drives via asus hyper m.2 x4 adapters and have no other hard drives

why the hell would you do that...

 

are you like trying to pointlessly waste money on useless insane storage speeds?

 

you realize that doing that wont make your boot time faster, right?

that will take a really long time to boot from...

first it will have to initialize the PCI controller, then it needs to start up the software raid controller, then it will start to boot

 

I would suggest you put your OS on a single SSD (sata, not PCIe) then software raid two other high speed NvME for your storage

you will get the fastest boot time with a SATA SSD
