Is there any possibility of configuring two m.2 NVMe (Samsung 950 EVO) drives in RAID 0 boot on the ASRock x99 Fatal1ty Gaming Professional i7 (or Taichi)?

They did it on the Z170 7+

Also, I have a i7 6800K (28 PCIe lanes) with a Quadro M4000 (16 lanes) and the two m.2 NVMe drives (4 lanes each). Do I have enough lanes? I am asking because the UEFI is only detecting one of the two m.2 drives.

Please help! :) I cannot wait to install the OS on this build, its been almost a week!

Thanks,
S

The CPU provides PCIE lanes, not uses them. There may be a NVME config setting, but it may require a BIOS update to function fully, although seeing as you have a broadwell-e on x99 I guess you already did flash your BIOS.

Look for a setting for PCIE storage remapping that you can adjust to see the second m2, plus obviously put it in UEFI RAID mode. You may not be able to see the IRST settings until you do that.
