    Hi,

    So my Sony Vaio Z2 has crashed a couple of times after a hard reset, this is usually because sometimes battlefield 3 would freeze up.

    The SSD status usually shows up as "Offline Member" and operating system could nto be found, this forces me to reset my raid to non-raid SSDs and create a new Raid 0 partition and reinstalling windows 7 (clean install in my case).

    I just recently put my system to Non-Raid, so now I have 2 partitions of about 59 GB each. Ive decided to put my games on one partition and OS on the other. Is this more reliable than a single Raid 0 setup?

    My new read/write is about 480 and 180 MB. about 300 MB slower in reading speed. But my sony vaio z loads up fast, the windows logo never finsihes the animation without the PMD installed.

    Sounds like your SSD array is failing. If they were two physically seperate drives like I have in my Z1, you'd be able to tell which SSD was causing the problem, but since you have two on one board it's a little more complicated. I'd contact sony about a SSD replacement.

    I think they will send a tech to your home to swap it. At least, that's what they did for a member here in the forums if I remember correctly.

    This happened to me last night after a BSD appeared. I powered on and off several times and was able to get the primary partition back. No errors in the windows logs, no issues found by the Intel RAID manager after the fact.
