No, RAID is not supported for M.2 PCIe SSDs on this board, sorry to say. Several reasons for that, including the two M.2 ports on this board are connected to different resources/devices. The Ultra M.2 port is connected to the CPU's PCIe 3.0 lanes, while the M2_1 port is connected to the X99 chipset's PCIe 2.0 lanes. Keep in mind the M2_1 port will not let a 950 Pro perform at its maximum potential, since it is a PCIe 2.0 x 4 interface. If the two M.2 ports on this board were used in RAID 0, the resulting speed would be limited by the M2_1 interface. ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">
