    If you go for RAID, I would advise for software RAID rather than hardware (i.e provided by your motherboard or a physical car). Hardware RAID will lock you to the particular motherboard or RAID card, which would represent an additional hurdle when upgrading or replacing it.

        You can configure the software raid during installation of Linux, when you define partitions/disks configuration.

        And for the love of Linus use punctuation please, makes reading what you write quite hard otherwise!

          I assume through the terminal/asking help from my distro for this, since my distro(cachyos) use calaimares installer.

          Okay
