Im building a pc and I want half a TB of ssd storage for my games. the 480gb version is 50$ more than 2 140gb drives. I dont want raid 0 untill I can afford afew backup drives. What raid merges 2 drives without using raid 0.

OK....initially, you said 140GB drives (which really don't exist)
Now that we know you're talking about 240GB drives....

RAID 0 with SSD's is still a losing proposition.
Yes, you can, but it gains very little. No speed benefit, and greater fail potential.

You can run two drives just fine without the RAID 0. I do. It's just 2 different drive letters.

For your initial question: what you seek does not exist.
Just have them as two drives. A 'C' and 'D'.
