I want to Raid 0 (I think that's what it is, I want all three SSD's to act like one so write speeds are faster, idc about them dying) these three SSD's I have that I can Raid currently. The problem isn't with Raid, it's with weather or not I can run an OS on a raid setup. Will this mobo support it?

Why do you want to RAID 0 the SSDs? You won't see a real performance benefit in actual use, and you will increase the complexity and fail potential.

I`m a developer and I open up the same thing over and over again and I've noticed when using a single SSD it takes ~5 seconds, but with Raid it can be near instant. This is important for me because I have to open it literally hundreds of times a day.

Agree - this is a truly bad idea. But yes, i think you can run a 3-drive raid 0 with the OS on it. The most awesome part us that when 1 of the 3 has a problem you can't even boot. Awesome!

Agree with USAFRet.... If you really want more speed - may be consider going for a PCI SSD rather than cobble together SATA SSD's in RAID 0. If you go with your proposal you have issues of getting TRIM to work etc..

Ok so I have two 128GB SSD's and one 256 SSD. I`ll just put the OS on the 256GB one and raid the other two 128. But this board will Raid, correct?

Actually, 1 of the 4:
3 x SSD + whatever RAID controller.
