I know the AW11Z has 2 X 320GB drives but this is not the case for all AW Vaios. It is more common to have one Drive split into two or more partitions (Recovery, C:\, D:\ etc).<BR /><BR />Check in the BIOS if RAID is an available feature. Sometimes Sony only include the RAID Controller on Vaios with RAID installed when bought.<BR /><BR />If the answer to both the above is yes, you will need to make at least two sets of Recovery Discs because you must format both drives if you want RAID 0 and reinstall everything in RAID format onto blank hard drives with RAID enabled. It is quite a big job and quite complicated because of the need to wipe both discs.<BR /><BR /> <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.si/html/@13A2E6A3774A8B47B4EC6F04089539E1/images/smilies/063.png" alt=":thinking:" title=":thinking:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 11 Oct 2009 19:05:41 GMT https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/intel-raid-feature-on-vgn-aw11s-b/m-p/51487#M52004 Blencogo 2009-10-11T19:05:41Z Re: Intel RAID Feature on VGN-AW11S/B https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/intel-raid-feature-on-vgn-aw11s-b/m-p/51489#M52005 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hello<BR />Thank you very much for your information <BR />Sorry am new to this vaio forum but am too old and experienced to vaio aw and the others laptops ..
