Problem with RAID under Windows 10

I build a desktop with system installed in a 950 PRO. Yesterday I purchased 2 SATA SSDs and hope I can make a RAID 0 with them. However, I tried 2 methods, neither of them were satisfying.

I placed the 2 new SATA SSDs under the same SATA controller.(By the way the motherboard is X-99 A II. ) I changed the controller from ACHI to RAID. I reboot the machine to configure the RAID 0, but the system went into an endless reboot.

Next, I did some search online and tried the function "Storage space". It did make my 2 drives 1 but there was no improvement on performance.

Here are some pictures I captured with my phone.

What shall I do to reach better performance? Thanks !

use diskmanager in windows to make a striped partition, thats how i set up my poopy RAID 0 with 150GB HDDs, works pretty well

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

Considering I got near 100% scaling with 2x SATA1 200GB HDD by doing that^, try it. (60MB/sec to 120MB/sec in RAID0, actually just over double the IOPS)

Thank you for the help, but this is what happens when I try to make them striped.

have you deleted all prior partitions on then and quick formated?

I'll try what you said, thanks!

yah you cant create a RAID 0 with drives with partitions on them of any kind, all that needs to go and all data needs to go too, then you can set up a RAID 0 which will also full format your drives and stuff

I cleared them completely, still not working. Now I'm wondering what does "Security is enabled" means. These are all brand new drives, should have no partitions in the first place.

they get partitions on them when you boot into windows with them for the first time, if you have deleted all of them and quick formated then i dont really know i havent had any problems :/

Hit yes. It will delete data and make it so you can't boot from them.

Should have gone with your first option by using the Intel Matrix Storage, they're way better than using RAID through Windows. And the reason it went into a endless reboot is your boot manager lacks the NVMe SSD lacked the drivers for RAID. The OS needs to be reinstalled.
