I have a imac 27" late 2013. It comes with a hard drive and i want to replace with 2 ssd in raid 0. The problem is that imac only comes with 1 sata port and 1 pcie flash storage port. I wanted to know if its possible to split the sata cable in 2 with somo sort of hub or if it possible to connect a sata cable to a pcie slot with somo kind of adapter. Remember i have a very reduced space so the solution has to be small.

There is almost no real-world benefit to a RAID-0 with two SSDs. Just get one SATA SSD and be done with it.

RAID-0 SSDs (and PCIe SSDs) do help if you're doing lots of sequential reads and writes. About the only common application where this is true is real-time video editing. High-end Apple hardware is frequently used for that task, so I don't criticize them for putting in PCIe SSDs and touting them as an advantage. But understand that if you're not using the computer for this sort of application, the difference between it and a regular SSD is going to be like 1%-2% at real-world tasks.
