    I tried ubuntu and like it but when I tried to install on my Z11, the dual SSD RAID couldn't make it recognize the hard drive.

    If I hack the BIOS and split the HDs into two, can I use one for Windows and the other for ubuntu then? Also, will there be a big difference in speed when running Windows off a single SSD vs. RAID? On the plus side, TRIM should work right?

    Lastly, are drivers for Z11 available for ubuntu?

    Thanks
