    1. Is Sony Z21 also configured as a quad raid0?
    2. I have read that when configued as raid 0, the ssd will lose the support of TRIM, which will decrease the life of SSD. Any comments?
    3. The HM55 chip of Z21 only supports SATAII. I think it will be a bottle neck for the quad raid0. Is that true?

    1) Z21 uses two SSDs, so it is configured as a dual raid.
    2) There is no decrease of life due to lack of TRIM support. Garbage Collection does a good job. No TRIM needed.
    3) Z21 does not have a series-5 chipset. It fully supports SATA3.
