Vaio Z13 Raid-0 + Linux + BTRFS + RAID0 + TRIM possible?

Hi guys,

Tomorrow I will receive my Vaio Z13. I'm using Linux 95% of the time, and I was wondering if anybody uses btrfs with raid on the SSD's. I read on some forums that it should be possible:

Is TRIM supported on RAID 0 configurations for SSD drives in Windows 7?
Re: TRIM + RAID Support? -- Linux BTRFS

If so, it would support TRIM if I'm right. If not, what would be the best way to configure:

- A small partition for Windows (60GB)
- Rest for Linux

Should I just create two RAID configs?

 

Is nobody using this laptop with Linux? Or is my question too technical?

 

OK, then I'll just answer my own post. I received my Vaio, and did the bios update. This allowed me to configure the RAID as JBOD, and I set the IDE configuration to AHCI. I continued installing Ubuntu, and everything seemed to work fine with just one drive configured. Next step was to configure the other drives, and add them to the BTRFS configuration. I rebooted, and suddenly my laptop was stuck on the bios post screen. Only the power lights were on. So I did some research, and it seems the Z is kinda picky with AHCI, it didnt like the partition table apparently. So I had to open up my just received device and disconnect the SSSD cable, and when I booted again, I could switch back to RAID configuration. Pfeww...

Are there any details about how partition schemes should NOT look like for the Z?

 

No, you're the first and yes, you are too smart for us
