    Want to confirm that RAID0 is possible with the Acer Aspire 8943G ?

    Want to get 2 SSD and RAID0 them so can have fast HD speeds. Anybody confirm this is possible or not possible?

    Here's a link to the Acer Aspire 8943G Tech Specs with the Intel PM55 Chipset...
    Acer Aspire 8943G-9429 - Core i7 1.73 GHz - 18.4″ - 8 GB Ram - 500 GB HDD

    And here's the Intel PM55 Chipset
    Mobile Intel PM55 Express Chipset - Overview
    ... which says...
    "Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) 1,3. With additional hard drives added, Intel® RST provides quicker access to digital photo, video and data files with RAID 0, 5, and 10, and greater data protection against a hard disk drive failure with RAID 1, 5, and 102. Support for external SATA (eSATA) enables the full SATA interface speed outside the chassis, up to 3 Gb/s."

    Though i have read the intel chipsets have problems with SSD Drives,
