Who will tell you the nuances of Windows software raid?

Good day!
With the release of Windows Server 2016, I plan to move a Windows server to it. As far as I know, since Windows 2012, the system includes the functionality to keep a completely software raid. I want to file raid 5 on 3 hdd disks + add 1-2 ssds to it to speed up. There are several questions that I would like to solve before the start of the experiments, but I can’t find any sensible information on the topic.
1. Is it possible to install a system on this raid (i.e. create a raid during installation)? How justified is this?
2. What are the limitations of software windows raid? Is it possible to use disks of different sizes, add ssd cache, etc.
The ideal answer would be a link to a detailed man page for this product. Thank you!
