    Appears to have 2x128G drives in a Raid 0 configuration.

    Only sold through 3rd party resellers right now. Will this come to amazon or bestbuy? I am strongly thinking about this.

    I have it as the "DS-72"? Is there a DB-72"? It could go to NewEgg and Amazon. But if you want why wait if it does not.

    Asus only sells through 3rd party I think? It is still pre order. We need to wait to see the final specs. Currently listed at 1x4GB RAM. If no open slot that could be an issue for me. Lack of upgrade and 1x4GB would be single channel. While I know not the end of the world it seems odd to go RAID 0 for performance and then cripple with single channel RAM.

    ON this being RAID? 128GB, for me not worth it. To little space. I have just come to SSD's and they are so fast for me not sure I would notice RAID. Then you double the chance of failure? So small capacity and double failure? I will stay with my 256GB 830. Also this has no DGPU. I would get a UX31 for it's weight and uni-body if I don't get DGPU and RAM upgrade options.
