Can you run the two cards in Raid 0 configuration?

Yes, but then you will only be able to use it as a read cache, no write.

Can you use it to clone?

Does this card require two M.2 Adapter cards and if so do the M.2 cards run in a Raid 0 platform even though there is one PCIe interface?

Hi there! This card does not require two, it can work with one, however, it does require both ( if you have two ) to be the same interface, so both must be NVMe or SATA.
