I have asus rog mobo ... Its Hero Alpha if that matters.

I have two 850 Pro SSD which i want to put in raid 0 to get better speed and Not for boot. Just storage

I have M8pe plextor Nvme m.2 and want to install win 10 on it.

If i set up Raid 0 in bios i can only boot from Raid. M.2 just disappears.

If i remove array then i can boot from all 3 devices. What should i do?

You can setup RAID 0 for speed via Windows Storage spaces in Windows 10 to avoid your system's RAID controller. Just select Striped volume. Its the same performance.

That said there have been multiple tests showing this to be a waste of time, as the performance benefit doesn't show up in real life only benchmarks. Meanwhile if Windows crashes or you have an array failure, or 1 of the drives fails, both drives will be unrecoverable. You will lose your files. Yes good backups take care of this but its still a pain for minimal benefit.
