RAID1 on PCIE+adaptor and M.2 slot

[LAazsx]

Hi Friends,

 

As the title says, is it possible to set 2 M.2 Drives, 1 via M.2 + 1 via PCIE with adaptor) in RAID1? and if I can get the full x4 speeds. Most B450 boards have the 2nd slot only running at x2.

Why you need raid 1 on an already fast nvme drives?

Redundancy. Will be running mission critical VMs.

I guess you  could if you're not using it as a boot drive.

You can use windows raid to combine them.

but why not just use a sata drive, it's not like the vm will use all those bandwidth.

yeah. so are you saying that I can raid 2 drives with 1 in the m.2 and 1 in pcie?

Yes, any drives that is recognized in windows can be raided (excluding the boot).

You can even combine HDD + Nvme, but it will use the max bandwidth that the slowest drive use.
