I have an 8tb harddrive and 256gb sdd and I want to use them as a game drive on linux. I’m not sure what’s the best method for setting that up is or if it’s even a good idea.

It’s a raid controller setting in the bios. Software raid driver may be needed.
Yeah I’d consider that an unusual setup, most users probably aren’t using that combo of hardware (and possibly outdated software with its windows 7 screenshots in the link).
Also notably it only supports up to 64GB cache drives, so the OS/filesystem implimentation case would include OPs situation - regardless of the CPU/manufacturer theyre using.
It’s not that unusual and there are AMD options. That was just the Dell link. I used it on an asus board. I think any intel chip with a bios that supports raid will work. There’s an amd version but I’ve never used it.
It might make a resurgence but with smaller nvme+sata ssd if costs remain high. Stranger things are happening right now.
