So I am building a new PC for myself for the first time in a while (since 2009) and have a question as the market has definitely changed since I last built (DVD drives were still kinda required in 09 by many depending who you asked haha). I want to embrace the speed of SSDs. I am looking at setting up two Samsung EVO 970 1TB M.2 drives in RAID 0 for extra speed. I also want to have this data backed up. I haven't seen too much on raiding a SATA III drive with M.2 Drives, and my guess is it is not possible as M.2 uses PCIe as an interface, thus not sharing the same controller as the SATA hard drives. My question is: Is there a way to work around that issue so I can back up the SSDs to a mechanical SATA HDD? Also if it is possible, could I maybe use a 4TB mechanical drive and have the 2TB of SSDs backed up to a separate partition on the 4TB drive, and have the rest of the space for media and non speed intensive data?
