Does linus read the forums and take video requests? Since the Z170 "Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 7" & "MSI Z170A GAMING M7" motherboards has two M.2 slots and supports raid modes, could you get one of said boards and two Samsung M951 NVME M.2 SSD's or two Samsung 950 Pro NVME M.2 SSD's to put them in raid 0 then do benchmark speed tests? 

CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3 3.4GHz Quad-Core | Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97MX-Gaming 5 | Memory: Kingston Savage 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 |


OS Drive: Samsung SM951 128GB M.2 SSD | Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 390X 8GB

I am not a professional. I am not an expert. I am just a smartass. Don't try and blame me if you break something when acting upon my advice.

I don't think he'll do a review on this, so for now here are a few benchmarks:

You could try to reach him directly or posting here http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/184739-what-product-would-you-like-to-see-us-review-that-we-havent-yet/

He's busy but checks forums time to time. Twitter is still faster place to make requests.
