Can the board do 2x NVMe? That’s the only thing I’d suggest is 2x ssd in RAID mirror, I have not had great luck with those Samsung drives tbh

yes it got 2 x M.2 slots and mainboard is able to do
a raid 0, 1 or 10 but i dont know if that works well?
Yeah it would offer some redundancy if one drive fails.
You can set up the two drive in Raid during Ubuntu install, don’t need the hardware raid
