Let me know if this is too off-topic or has been addressed already. Back in 2015 I replaced the superdrive in my 2011 MBP with a tray that held an SSD. I set it and the internal SSD up to run RAID0 and got a huge increase in performance. In fact, that machine with 16 GB of RAM still feels faster than my MBP M1 2020 8 GB when running Cura.
To my question, are there two ports on the new M1PRO or M1MAX 14" MBP that have independent controllers that I can set up and RAID0? I could use the internal SSD as the backup of the external RAID0 so I don't have to worry about the increased failure rate inherent in RAID0.
I would have a wicked kit for video editing.
BTW: From what I remember the two drives were actually almost 2X faster than the single drive.
