    Hi can anyone confirm if this model will have Raid 0.Justin at Xoticpc says it doesnt but if you look on Eurocom and CIZMO gives you the option in there
    configurator to have raid 0 setup.Im not doubting Justin but curious why some can say it does,is there something we dont know about.
    Comments appreciated.

    That is correct. The W870CU has hardware RAID. May I ask where you read Justin saying that it doesn't?

    Hi Guys,
    Received the answer in an email from justin?.I think hes is correct as i also got a reply from a John Shore of Eurocom and he said;

    So to me it looks like Eurocom is hatching its own Raid.

    I didnt see an option for Raid on Xotic's website.. This is so much cheaper than the M15x.. Thats really cool and it will spank the M15x also..

    EDIT: Its almost $500.00 cheaper than the M15x with the same spec's.. Minus the GTX 280m with there GTX 260m.. This will be the most powerful 15'' lappy...

    The RAID option is right after the selection for 2nd HDD, assuming you're looking at the Sager NP8760.
