Do both m.2 have to be identical for raid0?

Solved by CyberneticTitan,
On the BIOS level Gigabyte only supports RAID0 (stripe) or RAID1 (mirror). You would have wanted RAID0 to "combine" both drives into one, but since you have mismatched disk sizes the BIOS won't let you. On a technical level RAID0 on disks of different sizes usually results in striping across the drive of smallest size, so even if Gigabyte allowed you to use RAID0, you'd only have 2TB of useable space.
What you want to get the full 3TB is some sort of JBOD configuration, but to my knowledge no BIOS supports this and Windows won't boot from such a configuration anyways.
The best you can do is to use symlinks to force certain directories to use the second drive. Or buy a larger drive and sell both of these.
