    I have not been up to date with the latest laptop offerings and I am still with my m18x R1 from 2011. is the new alienware 17 R5 able to do SSD in raid 1? I notice there are 3 ssd ports but I am confused because it appears the system ships with sata drive instead of nvme drive? if it does support raid 1 can both drives be nvme or only sata ssd drives? from reviews I see that ssd slot #2 shows it to be a different pin connector than ssd #3 and ssd #1 is a shorter driver?
