I want to put 2 of my nvme ssds in raid 1 on my Windows personal computer, but my motherboard only has an one m2 input, is it possible with 2 disks to perform raid 1 software?
1x m2 in motherboard slot
1x m2 via pcie adapter

My motherboard is a ASUS Prime B450M Gaming

Candidates:

• Kobol Helios64
• HPE Proliant Microserver Gen10
• Shuttle Cube
• Supermicro SuperServer Embedded Mini-ITX IoT Tower
  

Specs:

• 4x+ real cores (preferably without SMT)
• 8-16GB RAM (ECC preferred)

• 6x disks

  • 2x boot
  • 4x storage (preferably in an external hotswap cage, which is what I really want)

• 2x+ USB 3.1 or up (for backing up the backups)

• IPMI/BMC/Remote management (this would be a plus)

Uses:

• Backups (mostly)
• Tertiary DNS
• Internal monitoring
• Admin tools (Ansible and such)
• Jump server so I only have to log into one thing when remote

This is something I've been looking for a while, and I've never really been able to find something that checks all of the boxes. Everything ends up being in the mini-tower form factor.

I thought I would see if anyone had any ideas.
