What does "when configured with two SSDs" actually mean. Does VEL-SOLO-X2 card hold 2 SSDs or does this mean there is another card available???

I think they mean when you connect a second SSD with a SATA Cable and then set them up as a RAID 0 array in software.

It's one (1) single module of 2GB capacity. If you want 4GB then buy two (2) each.

to you it looks like 1 drive. The firmware on the drive uses the ssd for the most active files. you don't control that. format the partition and load your os. i think you will like it! I am really very happy with the performance; it is very smooth and very consistent.

I just posted a reply to another question concerning this card, not sure if it's up yet. I'm using this on an old Precision 690 so it works just fine for me. However IMHO if you are using a newer system & also SSD you should look for something that matches your bus speed/etc and not go the inexpensive route. Not sure why you need this as your SSD's should be run off the mainboard and not through an expansion - unless all your drives are SSD's I suppose. If you have SS drives than I would suggest porting those through the expansion and the SSD's off of your board. Otherwise you will lose soooo much bandwidth/transfer speed...Good luck.

The card supports a 4-Bay e-Sata enclosure on my MacPro with no problems and 3X the performance of USB 2.0. From what I have read in the comments on Amazon, the card will only support one multiport device per card because the port multiplier only seems to apply to one port. I expect to connect another multi-bay enclosure in the future but it will be one with built-in RAID so that it only presents a one device appearance to the card.

Mine came with two physical SSD drives and one physical hard drive. They split the hard drive into two logical drives. So you start out with 4 logical drives.I logically combined the two SSD drives into one and removed the partitioning of the hard drive (folk on the ASUS forum told me how to do that). For that matter, I replaced the original 5400 rpm hard drive with a snappier 7200 rpm drive. So at this time my machine has only two logical drives - I like it better that way.HTH

Assuming this is a follow up to your question about installing 6 cards. This question is really down to your software. I've used 2 at once simultaneously and they work fine together, but I had to write the software myself.

I've seen the same way of describing the ssd in other computers and they only contain 1 ssd drive. On the Sony website there is no mention of 2 separate hard drives. I am reasonably sure this model only has a I7 2.0 ghz processor and 1 256 gb ssd. I'm ordering one today. I was confused at first also

Basic rule of thumb is that this will take up 2 slots. Exactly two. If you only have one Drive slot available, then no.

I hadn't heard that, but it would explain it. Anyone have any suggestions on what kind of card works to expand the memory?

The maximum amount of drives that I was able to hook up without any other cards is 3... An SSD for the OS, 2 HDD for storage. I'm not too familiar with RAID setups, but I think you may need a separate RAID controller.

Hi,I'm using this with 1 ssd and AMD E-350 (Zacate) based motherboard ASUS E35M1-M for HTPC use. Works without problems.Another ssd should not be a problem. Recomended.

I have one of these set up with standard drives and am able to run two VMs at the same time easily. I assume that SSDs would make it a bit faster though.

I run two. I wouldn't recommend 3 with this card. I would rather get another video card that is better for that.

That depends on the model you get. Some model editions have the hybrid with the SSD cache. For the models with the SSD, it is a hybrid and not two separate drives.

Probably not. If you're referring to setting the cards up in SLI mode.. I believe you would NEED to have 2 cards of the exact same model. I've never bothered with SLI, so I'm not positive, but from what I've heard, having the same cards is essential.

Stephen, Sonnet stated that the limit was the early Mac 2008. On my Mac which is an early 2008 Mac Pro, when I installed the card, you where able to see the SSD but I wasn't able to boot the SSD so I went to their support page and downloaded a firmware upgrade and now it does does boot and works flawlessly.
