Could I use this with an ASUS 970 PRO GAMING/AURA and a WDS100T2B0B WD Blue 3D NAND 1TB SATA III M.2 2280 Solid State Drive to make the M.2 SSD a Bootable Drive?

the m2 drive not being a bootable drive is usually a bios setting or incompatability. the adapter will usually not affect this. you can try checking for a compatability setting or legacy setting in the bios

Will two drives attached to this adapter both be available to be formed into a RAID array provided by the motherboard's built-in Intel RAID controller?

It is my intent to set up my adapter for RAID also, but I have not yet tried it. Each of two SATA SSD's connects to an independent SATA socket so I expect them both to be eligible for a RAID configuration with an external RAID controller. The PCIe bus only supplies power for the two SATA drives. It is very unlikely that the third NVMe SSD can participate in a RAID configuration, as it connects only through the PCIe bus.

What is the maximum bandwidth available for M.2 PCIe drives when using this adapter?

The maximum bandwidth available for M.2 PCIe drives is up to approximately 40Gbps.

What types of M.2 SSDs can I mount using the StarTech.com PEXM2SAT32N1 adapter?

You can mount both PCIe (NVMe) and SATA based M.2 SSDs using the StarTech.com PEXM2SAT32N1 adapter.
