Hi there! I am planning on buying a 2009/2010 Mac Pro for my editing and color grading work. Since these computers now support nvme boot drives I have decided to go with a samsung evo 970.
I have bought a pcie card that can hold two drives at once, hoping that I could raid 0 them to gain more speed or maybe use one as a boot drive and the other one as a scratch/cache disk. The reason behind this is that pcie slots on these machines are precious and I would like to make the most out of each one. I will have an RX580 nitro+ 8gb GPU that will take up two slots already, and most certainly I will also install a usb 3.0 card that will take up another one.
I would like to know if this dual nvme pcie card makes any sense or if both drives will conflict in someway and not work at the speeds that they are expected to work at. The card is:

Thanks!!!
