Hi, I'm planning on building my first pc in a few weeks or 1-2 months. 
I was looking at my parts list and realized I don't need a 1 terabyte SSD when for cheaper I could get another m.2 500gb drive and run them in raid.
I was looking up on how to run raid and was curious if I needed to use one of those PCIe expansion cards. My motherboard says it has 3 m.2 slots, but I'm not sure if I can use those to run raid or not.

The motherboard will be able to raid the drives if you they are using the same interface. Need the full PCIe x4 and nvme through put and some software for it to happen, like unraid

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?
