This description states that there are more than 1 SSD in RAID 0 - however the main description only states 1x 128gb SSD - What's the final verdict?

It came with only 1x 128 SSD. I returned this computer as fast as I could though. It was just completely horrendous. Don't know if that helps you, but just fair warning from my experience.

I received the MSI Computer Corp. GT60 DominatorPro 3K-475;9S7-16F442-475 15.6-Inch Laptop laptop on March 2014, 3k edition display is nice.The laptop has one flash disk stoage of 128GB + 1TB Standard Harddrive. This laptop has 3k screen, not 1080p or less. the gpu is nice it has 8GB memory.What i always wanted in a laptop = first is 3k screen and second fast boot + third GPU with min 8GB memory, CPU i7 Quad core min and speed can vary.There is a new gpu out 980M but no laptop with 3k Display yet.

It has 2x128 GB SSD, in a RAID 0 setup (this means you see these two disks as one of total of 256 GB)

In the past RAID has been a hardware supported function. I don't use this in a RAID setup as I only have two drives in it so far. You should view this as four separate USB to SATA bridges. Any RAID function you want to use will have to be 100% software implemented.

Same here: 750GB x 2. They're also not RAID 0, so you don't have one drive with 1.5TB, but rather a 750GB C: drive and a 750GB D: drive.

The 4TB version has 2-2TB drives hence 4TB. That is in RAID 0 format. If you setup RAID 1 you only have 2TB usable.Good luck

They all have three slots, but not all have all three drives. Mine only came with the one 128GB SSD

Mine came with 2 drives with RAID 1. Suggest you to review the spec at http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/SpecSheet/ENG/4178-705315.pdf

Well if you go RAID 0 you will have faster read/write speeds with regular hds or ssds. ssds are way faster, so theoretically a raid 0 ssd should be the fastest ever. Just be sure you motherboard or disc controller can do raid.

Yes I have 1 ssd and 1 bluray burner and 1 drive but i could put 4 in raid 5 if i wanted too! Hope this helps

Absolutely, I would always recommend RAID 1 or 10 if you can afford the extra drives. Though I've not yet done it, SSD's should be able restore a RAID array faster in the event of a failure.

I believe you can only do a software RAID 0 or 1, but this card is really NOT meant for that! It is the best way to give your ssd a sata 6.0 connection on an older motherboard. Also, you only want to connect ONE ssd to this card to get the maximum speed!

There is no RAID inside this adapter. Some system boards have 'fake' RAID, but you have to go waaay back to get IDE RAID, now it's mostly SATA. Unlikely but possible to still find a card that does IDE RAID, PROMISE made some. As far as I know, the 'drives' (microSDs) enumerate as 0 and 1, a and b etc. to systems. No striping or mirroring going on without outside help. The slow and wear-prone media of most microSD just doesn't make good RAID sense anyway.

I have eight 4TB drives, totaling to 32 TB's. Haven't tried 5TB drives.Do note that I'm no longer using the included RAID controller though, it had too many issues. I opted for the SANS DIGITAL HA-DAT-4ESPCIE PCI-Express x8 SATA II (3.0Gb/s) Controller Card on Newegg, had no issues with it since.I think the bus supports 64-bit address mapping, so the capacity limitation per drive is most likely a limitation of the controller and not the multiplier that's built into the SAN enclosure.

It's not clear here, but yes, it has the two SSDs in RAID configuration. They are rather nice!

What you're describing isn't RAID, which by definition uses more than one disk. You're talking about disk mirroring, and even that makes little sense with a single physical drive. The whole point of both methods is to maintain data access when an entire physical drive fails.That said, you could set up a meaningful disk-mirroring configuration using this device and 2 of the drives within it. You would access one of the drives, and your mirroring would automatically write identical data to both drives in near real time, which is one level of RAID.

No, I am using it in a non-raid setup. I did try to use it with a 2 TB drive as a 4th drive. It didn't work. I then put a 500 MB drive on it and it worked. I put the 2 TB directly on a standard sata port.

I purchased the 2-drive version, but if the same thing applies to this as other 4-drive NAS's, you'll want to install them at least in pairs (if doing RAID 0 or 1). If you're going to want RAID 5 (and if the 4-drive unit supports it, which I assume it does), you'll want to install all 4 for best results. Edit: The 4-drive NAS's I've used only allow for 2 arrays, so don't plan on having 4 separate single-drive arrays.
