    By default, the SXPS 13 only supports one internal HDD. It may be possible to replace your optical drive with a second 2.5" SATA HDD if you care to do a bit of modding.

    If there is a free mini PCI express slot then you could use that, Samsung is comping out with a kickass one which has 200mbs read and 100mbs write. It's not out yet but it should be within a few months, manufacturers are testing it now
