Its a real shame Intel are dicks about adding VROC RAID 0 support other brands of M.2 drives. I wanted to pair up two Samsung 970 EVO 2TB M.2's on my EVGA Dark mobo but Intel just gave vague excuses and were actively blocking that function. The same M.2 drives paired up easily via CPU RAID 0 on my other Threadripper build. But for my EVGA Dark i had to buy Intel 760p 2TB M.2's to get VROC RAID 0 working on the X299 platform.
