    I recently ordered a 1720 through Dell outlet which I am waiting to arrive. What confused me slightly is that all the previous threads I've read say that the 1720 doesn't support RAID, however the machine spec said the following (It has 2 x 250GB drives)

    1 x 250GB HD (5400RPM)
    1 x 250GB 5400RPM Serial ATA RAID

    Is this software RAID via vista disk volumes, a mistake, or have they actually now implemented RAID on the 1720?

    Thanks.

    Andy.
