Recently purchased the following new board & CPU and existing SSD's

B450 MSI Tomahawk (Old 16Gb ROM Version)
3700X CPU
2 x Samsung Pro 830 (128GB)
2 x Crucial MX500 (500GB)

Was too busy at work to build myself to build it up so subbed it out to the local PC shop

When I picked it up he said that he couldn't get RAID to work via the BIOS / HARDWARE and that you could only run Software Raid (Windows 10 Storage Spaces) on an Intel platform (not compatible with AMD)

Does the above sound plausible?

If not, before I start re-installing the OS and trying to implement RAID 0 on all 4 Drives, for casual gaming, will I see any real benefits on installing RAID or am I better either keeping the setup as is or going down the M2 drive route?
 
Thanks for the comprehensive replies, tbh after running my new system as individual drives vs my old system as JBOD Raid mode loading times aren't an issue even on new games
Given the Samsung 830's are a few gens old, might ditch them and get myself a NVME drive later down the road
