    I have an asus ux301 and I have been reading everywhere that this laptop is configured in raid0 however when I go to my computer I see that I have 2 logical drives, c and d where c has around 60gb free and d is completely empty. My understanding was that raid 0 would strip half of the "info" on each of them, they should have identical free space on both of them and i would think it would show as a logical drive under my computer and not 2, I checked the bios and the device manager and it says that its configured in raid, I am completely lost.... any help explaining this would be appreciated

    A RAID0 array (or any other RAID configuration for that matter) can be partitioned like a regular drive.

    Your RAID0 array is partitioned to a C: drive and a D: drive. ;)
