    Hello, if someone can answer my question that would be awesome because MSI's documentation kinda blows chunks...

    I have 128GB M.2 ssd (running Windows 10 upgraded from windows 8) and 2.5 HDD standard in this laptop and supposedly there are 3 additional M.2 open slots available where MSI says Raid 0, however I have no desire to use Raid 0. What I want to do is get three additional M.2 ssd's where i can multiboot a couple Linux versions where each version would have its own ssd. I have been through the UEFI/BIOS and its not clear to me if I can do this or if these additional ports are strictly for Raid 0 only.

    thanks!
