I see the SSD listed as 128GB in RAID 0 - can someone please confirm that there are two SSD's in this device? If so, 2x 64GB? ?128ssd+HDD as mod?

Yup... here's the screenshot from my S7-392. Your proposed mod is not possible though.https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-CnKiFKkqrCM/UiFep6VtfSI/AAAAAAAABCA/yLSvcBmbJRc/w1152-h750-no/RAID0.png

It has 2 64 GB ssds in RAID 0, but they operate through one SATA port, but two controllers. The SSD is fast (2x as fast as most other SSDs), but sdd + hdd is not possible.

OS is installed on SSD drive, I removed the 750 drive and replaced with 256G SSD. I did not raid the drives since I want to run games from the 256 SSD and keep OS and other programs on the 128SSD.

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

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

It is a 5400RPM, it looks incorrectly listed as 7200RPM. While 7200RPM is always preferred, a 5400RPM wont be too bad since its main use is for storage. The 2x mSATA in RAID is where your OS and programs should be installed and you'll get extremely fast speeds from those.

When I first got it (about 9 months ago), I started with 1 hard drive and it worked fine. I added another drive in single disk mode and it's also working fine. Although I didn't set it up as RAID, I remember I had a choice to turn it into RAID. However, I don't remember if formatting both drives is required for RAID; it's not required for two drives in single disk mode. This was a few updates ago, so it might have changed, but I think you can still start off with one drive, add another drive in the future, and set them up as RAID.

Its a RAID 0 (two drives splitting the data) with two 128gb SSD's creating a logical 256gb hard drive.

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

Yes, it comes with two 7200 rpm drives already in place. And it is capable of being set for either Raid 1 or Raid 0. Just remember that if you decide to change between either Raid 1 or 0 that you will lose all data previously saved. So make sure you know which one you want to use before starting.

Hi. I don't know, since I mounted a main disk 240 Gb Corsair Force SSD and let a 750 Gb WD Caviar Black for storage I did not looked again in WD offers. This is crap and if it is discontinued much better for all the people who will not waist money for nothing. I let is for storage but disconeccted. I only connet it and save something there from time to time. Regards

Yes. I installed one. There's a slot to add a second HDD but it would just put SSD in it.

I bought that computer for my son, he loves it, no problems. Unfortunately I don't know what a ssd drive is, nor does he, so I can't give you any info on that.

It's not a SSHD or SSD. It's just a standard, 2TB HDD (but it works great)! I use it in my PS4. My friend who bought a hybrid 1TB HDD says he wishes he now got this one because mine loads up just a TAD bit slower than his and the gaming load times that he saves time on are barely felt with his SSHD. ;-)

I think it is thunderbolt 1. It really won't make any difference. It is only a two mechanical drive enclosure, which can't exceed thunderbolt 1 max anyway. If yoou have two ssd's, raided, that might be a different story.

If you bought the one with pre-installed hard drives, out of the box it will be RAID-1 (mirrored) with 4TB of available storage. You can undo the formatting and redo it as two separate 4TB drives for a total of 8TB of storage, but then you lose all of the protection the mirror provides.

The description does say the unit is "2TB". That is the TOTAL of the two drives, so they are 1TB each. You will have 2TB usable storage in RAID 0 mode (performance), or 1TB usable in RAID 1 mode (mirroring/backup).

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.
