You will still want stripping (raid 0) if you truly require more performance and more unified storage (single storage pool as opposed to 6 individual drives).

You will still want stripping (raid 0) if you truly require more performance and more unified storage (single storage pool as opposed to 6 individual drives). Usually each NVMe drive has own pcie lanes, so having two drives raided gains performance over having one drive. AMD is now really pushing into having bonus lanes, so for threadripper they published reports on 6x raid0 of nvme ssds, where they got 21gigabytes/s reads out of storage. https://community.amd.com/community/gaming/blog/2017/10/02/now-available-free-nvme-raid-upgrade-for-amd-x399-chipset?sf118245427=1 https://community.amd.com/community/gaming/blog/2017/10/02/n... Please note, it is now important to check motherboard information regarding pci lanes availability, and ensure that between GPU and M2 there are plenty pcie lanes. Some early motherboards had 4 m2 slots, but only first 3 slots guarantees pcie lanes, while utilizing 4th would force sharing of pcie lanes and be slower than first 3.
