    I want to buy 2 Crucial 64GB (or 128GB) C300 SSDs and put them in RAID0

    Will it work in this laptop?


    Also, as it won't support TRIM, is there anything I can do to recover the degradation in speed?

    BTW, I asked this on another forum. So, please don't flame.

    I can't see anywhere in the BIOS how to setup RAID0...

    I called HP, and the guy told me it supports RAID0, I'm gonna call again.

    How about the second question?

    I went to chat assistance on the HP website. And the girl confirmed twice that it supports RAID0.
