Aurora R13 RAID0
I am purchasing an Aurora R13 just strictly for Microsoft Flight Simulator. I currently use the sim on XBox and my addon folder is currently close to 500 Gig, and XBox has only half what is on the Marketplace in MSFS, besides other addons. Basically, 2 TB I am going to go through relatively quickly, and the Community folder has to be on one drive.
I would have liked to replace the 2 TB SSD with a 4 TB one, but drives over 2 TB at least from the specs aren't supported. I haven't seen anyone mention RAID0 in the BIOS, so it doesn't look like I can add another 2 TB SSD and RAID0 them into a larger drive.
So my question then is, does anyone know of a RAID0 card that will allow me to create a 4 TB or larger drive?

Maybe, but I doubt it requires a RAID NVME setup, as that would mean only a small percentage of systems would be capable of running it.

But SATA is much slower than NVME bro. Have you ever used MFS? man it needs fast drives!

Running it on SATA vs NVME for the flight sim isn't an issue at all.

You can use 4tb (2.5 inch?) SATA-3/600 SSD if you want to. I suggest you install MSFS on a SSD for sure (if it can't fit on C-Drive).
For the bootable C-Drive (Windows and any misc apps and programs) you get a NVMe-SSD (as big as you want).
Maybe Intel-RST still supports RAID. Now that we have SSDs, I doubt anyone really uses it for RAID-Anything. I hate that "driver replacement" software anyway. I get rid of it any chance I get (even if I have to clean-install machine to do it). I suggest you run your drives as AHCI, not RAID.

The boot drive can be as large as 4TB? That would be perfect! Why does the specs say that there is a 2 TB limit then? I’ve spent so much time trying to figure out how to get more than 2 TB. thank you for letting me know. Much appreciated

You could install a 4 TB SATA SSD, much easier than raid setup.
