    Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. I just picked up my first gaming laptop a Asus G73JH from a fellow. He had installed 2 120 gb SSD drives and I was as to curious if this system has a raid controller and if not is there any software out there that will help?

    Before i go asking alot of stupid questions I will be checking out the faq's for any driver updates. If i need to post any specs or anything i surely will.

    The JH's chipset does not support RAID, and software RAID doesn't yield the desirable speed increase, tho you can stripe it for merging the 2 drives for 240GB partition. Personally, I'd prefer 1 SSD and 1 HDD for storage.

    Thank you very much. Well, i will put up one of these 110gb SSD drives for trade for a standard HDD. I really am loving this laptop. Never had this type of speed before even for a little bit older laptop.
