    Hoi guys!

    I'm not a rich guy, but as I wanted something light and powerful, the vaio z fitted the bill perfectly (could have a better graphics, but nothing is perfect) I tried hard and bought it. There is no question, that there is no competitor to vaio Z.

    As I said I don't have much money so I bought the z21wn/b, p9500, 4GB, 250 GB, 9300 gs.

    I was thinking of getting a 32 or 64 gb ssd to have the OS and important stuff, and a regular hdd for storage. But as I've seen in this forum, that is impossible, or not for a regular guy.

    The solution is only one ssd and no hdd.

    I found a post where it says there are some vaio z models where you can find two 1.8" ssd, then here is the question:

    Is it possible to fit one 1.8" inch hdd and a 1.8" ssd in a vaio z, without lots of engineering?

    Hope you will input something on this

    I don't think it's possible:
    - 1,8" HDD is too thick
    - You need the cable for the Raid

    Finally 1,8" SSD + 1,8" HDD + cable are even more expensive than a 2,5" SSD
