If you set up the components as described, the additional 2% slowdown from the M.2_1 Gen 5 SSD will occur due to its activity. Are there any further complications or limitations in this hardware configuration?

A lot of frustration probably comes from RAID.

A few points:
There's no reason to use RAID1. If it's for performance reasons, there's zero practical benefit. If it's for reliability reasons, use a back up plan instead.
I don't see a need to get a Gen 5 NVME SSD, because again, the practical performance is almost nothing.
When I say practical performance, I mean something that most people will perceive. There's a significant difference in practical performance going from an HDD to a SATA SSD. There was very little, if any going from a SATA SSD to an NVMe one.

I understand your concern regarding the RAID 1 configuration. Please let me know your reasoning so I can address it appropriately.

Not too long ago, someone insisted switching from PCIe 3.0 to 4.0, or 4.0 to 5.0, would cut boot time in half. I teased them a lot.

Raid 1 because this will be a work / gaming box. I keep a ton of projects on my main box as well as coping over said projects to my NAS system. I've lost data in the past when I was first starting out and ever since then I make backups all over and I don't trust cloud systems so it all needs to be internal.

It seems like you're asking about preferences regarding system performance or raid experiences. Could you clarify what you mean? Are you referring to technical performance, gameplay enjoyment, or something else? Let me know so I can assist better.

Yes, after copying and processing such large files, the performance gap between Gen 5 and Gen 4 becomes less noticeable.

Internal is not a backup.
RAID is not a backup.
Anything that impacts your real data also influences the RAID data.
Only physical drive damage truly matters for RAID.
With a solid backup setup and no RAID, you can recover within 30 to 60 minutes after replacing a drive.
However, it offers no protection against other types of data loss.

When copying between 2x 5.0 and 2x 4.0 or 2x 3.0, data movement depends on the weakest link in the process.
