Vaio S Series 2nd SSD and Optical Drive

hello, I have a Vaio S Series laptop and i want to get a 2nd SSD. All the postings i have found online talk of substituting the optical drive for an SSD using a Caddy. This implies is that the only way to have a 2nd SSD is by removing the optical drive. However the Sony website offers customized S Series models with 2 SSDs (on a RAID-0 configuration) and a DVD or BluRay. This implies that there is a way to have both 2 SSDs and an optical drive. Anyone can shed some light into this? If the latter is possible, where does the 2nd SSD go? Are there instructions how to do this? Deep thanks!

 

As far as I'm aware no Vaio has two bays for HDD/SDD storage (ignoring replacing the optical drive). I don't have an S series but I'm pretty certain that Sony uses two SSDs stacked on top of each other taking up the same place where the HDD would go. There are two physical drives but the notebook sees the paired SSDs as one logical drive due to the RAID 0 set-up. In other words, between an optical drive, HDD or SSD you can only have two at once. Hope that made sense.

 

thanks for the reply, if there are two disks then isn't it possible to NOT setup RAID? The controller can just let both drives to show up as separate drives, no?
