    I have a M17x R4 here with a 32gb SSD caching drive and 2 new Samsung 830 128gb SSD's that I want install in raid 0 configuration. Do I have to diable the internal cahing drive? Or just shut the caching mode off and use it as a regular drive? Any help would be appreciated.

    Your gonna have to disable caching as the mSATA drive won't have an standard HD to cache. ;)
