   You could make a RAID 0 out of the three 1TB drives.   
   But the results won't feel all that "special".   
      
   The software stack on computers, is still a major impediment   
   to a good time. Would I buy a PCIe Rev5 NVMe ? No, because   
   the OS would not make good usage of it. It would only look   
   good while doing benchmarks.
