    there is a option "256GB (128GBx2) Solid State Drive with RAID technology "
    which means the z can hold 2 hard drives??
    2 1.8" or 2 2.5"...??
    does anyone know that?
    Can I have 1 SSD + 1 regular hard drive?

    Also, if the z can hold 2 hard drives..
    what about the sr & fw...??

    2x 128GB option uses a special adapter to hold two SSDs without their exterior cases, stacked flat one on top of the other. In effect it's two SSD devices that fit into a single standard 2.5" space. Or in other words, there is only one 2.5" drive bay, which can otherwise only accomodate one drive. Unfortunately an SSD+HDD combination is not possible; same with the SR and FW.

    Only the AW has dual 2.5" drive bays, and the TZ/TT has an option to replace the optical bay with a 2.5" drive bay (in addition to the 1.8" SSD bay).
