Hello, I am going to be getting a second SSD soon and I was wondering if I can have things such as steam work and store on both of them. Would I have to RAID them or will it work? My current SSD is: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007R67FTY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_7&smid=A26Z5H04U1THGQ

And my new one will be: http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Storage/SSDs/M.2+PCI-E+SSD/256GB+Samsung+SM951+M.2+PCIe+NVMe+High+Performance+SSD+?productId=64851

Will these two work in a RAID or no? Any help is greatly appreciated,

Im not sure if they will work in raid. But I do know you can have steam put games on both drives. All you have to do is add another steam library. below are the steps to do so.

1. open Steam
2. In the top left corner click steam, then click "Settings". A new window will open up.
3. On the left column, click "Downloads"
4. At the top click "Steam Library Folders". A new window will open up.
5. Click "Add Library Folder"
6. Then choose where you want the new folder. You can change to different drives from the drop down box at the top.

YOUR DONE!

Now when you install a game it will ask which library you want to install the game on. All you have to do is select what drive you want.

Hope this helps!

Solution
No RAID needed

You can have your Steam libraries on multiple drives. For example:

As noted above, Steam Library Folders.
