Yes you can have two or more SSD in your system.

You can have them as individual stand alone disks.

You can have them in RAID (any raid that is physically possible with the SATA connectors)

With a RAID you have to build the raid, see the guide in my sig.

With single disk mode (AHCI) if your SSD have been enabled using the disk management tool from your OS then you just use them.
To help us help you - please provide as much information about your system and the problem as possible.

Multiple PCIe SSDs can be configured as software RAID only. You would need to create the array from within the operating system. Configured like this the array would not be bootable.

You're welcome. 🙂 It would be nice to be able to RAID a few of those drives.

yes it sure would be awsome if they could be even there there already in raid 0 already from factory
it would shoot the pcie ssd's as fast or close to the same speed as the ramdisk program is
