*2 Only the M.2_2 socket can support Intel® Optane™ Memory Ready.
*3 NVME RAID is supported with M.2_2 and PCIe X16_1. PCIe x16_1´s device needs to use Intel brand.

If you enable Intel RST with Optane, then M.2_2 gets reserved for Optane drive.
NVME raid doesn't support M2.2 slot. You have to use NVME pcie adapter in PCIE X16_1 for additional NVME drives.
And you need Intel drives for this (not Adata).

I'd suggest you forget about NVME raid completely. Not worth it.

Yeah, you'll need different hardware. But you're in luck; for >99% of consumers, using RAID ranges from pointless to absolutely terrible.

What type of RAID array, 0 or 1?
In either case, there is one operative word - Don't.
