    Does anybody know what is the Part # of the Sony Vaio Z RAID cable (used to connect two SSDs in RAID SSD SKUs of Z)?

    I'd like to use it for connection of two drives in a DIY way :)

    Since this hardware RAID (from the BIOS) which driver is needed? Im using XP Pro and Intel's SATA driver for ICH9. If I upgrade the single drive to a RAID configuration, Im expecting a blue screen upon botting without RAID drivers. is this correct?

    There is a new 1.8" SSD from Samsung, the PB22-J (MMDOE56G5MXP-0VB) that has R/W specs of up to 220MBs/200MBs, I think this drive will provide the fastest speed on a Vaio Z when setup up as a 2x RAID. Capacities go up to 128MB so the RAID array would be 256GB total. I can find them for sale everywhere in Europe, Germany, UK, Switzerland and other places but cannot find anyone selling it in the US. It would certainly make the Vaio Z, smoke as far as disk performance goes :) This thing is seriously fast…
