    I assume this is an L702x? You can definitely replace the hard drive with an SSD. You can definitely install two SSDs, too, but if your machine only came with one drive, you may have to buy a second caddy.

    I don't know what RAID options are offered on the L702x, but if RAID 0 is supported, you should be able to enable it without doing anything special.
