    Thanks all for the clarification. I was thinking about an mSata SSD for the mini PCIe slot which makes the two HD slots only available in RAID mode. I have one 500GB hdd and would buy another hdd to pair it. As 750GB is not so much more expensive than 500GB it would have been nice to gain some extra 250GB.

    AFIAK RAID0 configuration in theory will also double the performance (transfer speed, not access times), because multiple drives can read & write in the same time, but in praxis you performance should increase for at least 50% ... With RAID1 you gain only on read performance, write should be same or even little slower ...

    EDIT: My mistake, I was thinking you meant "you will get no performance gain with RAID0", not with "doing partitions on RAID0 setup" ... If you make more than one partition on HDD, there should be a little decrease in performance in comparision with only one partition per HDD...

    Hi,

    I am the owner of a Dell Precision M6500 - but I had forgotten to order a wireless card.
    I've read that a Dell Wireless 1397 wireless card b / g can be installed. I own this card. The card has only two cable connections and the notebook has three cables for a wlan card.
    Shall i leave just one cable free?


    Thank you
    Oliver

    So:

    5 Displays
    4 GPU's
    2 Sets of RAM

    However the nice supervisor has said enough is enough and they are shipping me a replacement.

    Awesome!

    I had Windows 7 x64 go wonky on me yesterday for the first time....screen went 'black' and it just hung there....never had that happen before. Reboot was fine though....probably a DELL Program or one of the updates I just installed....nothing else had changed.

    Looks like M7820. Is that a replacement? What are the rest of the specs? :)

    About time! lol hopefully your new one isn't like your old one...man never seen a Dell go through so many parts o_o

    Hopefully they refurbish it right so some poor soul on Outlet doesn't buy your problematic M6500..
