The board states it supports RAIDs 0, 1, and 10. If I set the SATA 1-6 ports to RAID mode in BIOS, it removes any options for RAID Configuration, For Example, I have 4 SSDs and want to make 2 RAID1s out of them can I do this? Will this need to be done with the AMD RAIDXpert application? Or does this MoBo only support one RAID set (i.e. only one RAID 1)?

Thank you.

Why would you want to make two two-drive RAID-1 when you could make one four-drive RAID-10 which has the same redundancy/mirror advantage but also combines their (otherwise segmented) performances and capacities?

I don't know the answer. On Intel-based boards you can usually only install one RAID on the PCH-controlled SATA ports (plus a second RAID on added ASMedia-controlled SATA ports). The desktop chipsets tend to support limited flexibility in RAID configurations.
Maybe AMD X370 is different (better).

Why do you want to install a pair of mirrored RAIDs?

2-drive RAID1 and 2-drive RAID1, functions as two logical drives with mirroring
vs
4-drive RAID10, functions as one logical drive with mirroring, plus striped capacity and performance of two physical drives

Set your first drive to raid via the bios, then you can use windows drive management to create extra raid drives.
