I know that when threadripper promised to be able to do raid 0 with m.2 drives from the bios was a big deal. Is it possible to have a raid 0 with m.2 drives for boot on a ryzen system? I feel like it would but I would have to do it as part of the windows installation and not through bios. Only wondering because 2x 250gb m.2s aren't a huge amount more expensive than 1x 500gb m.2 and for not much more money but much faster speeds I would rather do that but I don't want to spend the money on the two drives only to find out it won't work. The cpu is a r7 1700 and the motherboard is a msi x370 gaming Pro carbon if that helps

Don't do raid, especially for boot.

There is no perceivable difference between a single NVMe SSD and two of them in RAID. Don't bother, I'd say.
