Especially not for a simple setup like that. There is ZERO reason to use RAID-0 here.
Just add it as second drive with the drive letter D or whatever is free and keep Windows and other stuff on C, moving some easy to move programs to D and add anything new to D as well.
RAID-0 is great for making YouTube videos showcasing ridiculous speeds and stuff like that. For productivity... It's just asking for trouble. And yes, there are SOME use cases for it that are legit, but they are far away from what OP wants.
Edit: But since we're here to learn more than might be necessary. IF you were to setup RAID-0, you'd need a motherboard supporting RAID configuration or a RAID card. (that'd plug into the PCIe slot.)
And I would strongly advise against using crap cards, there are real quality differences and if your RAID card dies you want to be able to easily obtain a fitting replacement to be able to get your array back online. So the cheap Chinese offers you see on eBay might NOT be the best buy.
But again, don't use RAID-0. I just added that to entertain the hypothetical thought.
The major problem with RAID in general is that the controller might recognize a drive as bad when in reality it just took a little too long to respond. This isn't such an uncommon problem and whilst with normal RAID configurations (RAID 0 strictly speaking isn't even a RAID, because there is no redundancy) you might be looking at wasting an otherwise good drive and replacing it with a brand new one and keeping your array and all its data intact (BIG ASTERISK), with RAID 0 you'd be losing all your data without major headaches and troubleshooting. You don't want to deal with that and frankly speaking not even very very tech savvy people want to deal with it. RAID 0 would typically be found in use cases where the two drives combine their speed to become a very snappy cache.
Now of course you'll be backing up all your important data so even a RAID 0 turning belly up wouldn't get the best of you, at least I hope you keep backups, but still... You don't need everything staying one drive [letter] (logical volume), so why introduce another point of failure and adding more maintenance once you need to replace drives?
As if they really can't tell us how their backup application communicates with a locally deployed server. (btw, it's nothing I'm wondering about, I know it's SMB because I set it up and it sees it)
Or also the bit how they will not support the storage target because they aren't the maker of the target device.
Like.... Chances are way on Huawei's side their software is buggy, because this issue exists across many different devices and it will create the initial folders fine, but it will not start the transfer claiming full space.
Classic clueless tech support cop-out. "Call the other guys"
