From the marketing, this appears to me to be squarely aimed at being a media/gaming machine, so I would not really expect any form of raid to be included.
As usual though, regardless of the hardware functionality of a device, the software is where the real effort is almost always the really weak point that seems never to be really addressed by any vendor.
In this case, as far as hardware specs are concerned, the current discounted price seems reasonable, although unless it stays there, then it might lose it's value.
With 2 3.5" drives added to the mix, cooling will be of prime concern and is again, something all too often receiving less than the attention that it deserves, so will be interesting to see what temps are when both bays are fully loaded and the SOC gets maxed out with gaming and high end playback.
I'm surprised that no vendor besides Khadas has gone beyond the S922X for the A311D to give that little extra punch to performance.
