RAID 0 HDD boot?

I was curious if you could use two HDD's in RAID 0 for windows boot? I know an SSD would be a better option for a boot drive.

 

Edit: NVM if a mod could delete this forum I'd love you.

Hey Tasuma,
 
Just a simple note, even though you might have resolved the problem:
In most cases, RAID0 of two drives or more (regardless if they are HDD or SSD) would result in longer boot times compared to a single drive of the same kind because the system needs to first initiate and recognize the RAID and then start the boost process. Sometimes if you use two SSDs in RAID0 the difference could be up to 10 seconds.

If this helped you, like and choose it as best answer - you might help someone else with the same issue. ^_^

Yea, I am just going with an SSD. I realized it was a dumb question about thirty seconds after posting.
