I just got my Alienware 14 today and was going to put 2 Kingston 240GB Sata 3 drives in raid 0 in today. I open up the computer and see a space for 1 hard drive. I literally take the thing apart and find no place for a 2nd hard drive? Am I missing something here?

The RAID configurations you would see for the AW 14 would be:
- mSATA + 7mm
- 7mm + ODD
- mSATA + 7mm + ODD

Kingston sms200S3 in conjunction with a normal 2.5 SSD Kingston. Will I need to get a caddy for the msata drive in place of the DVD drive or any additional connectors? -

I can still Raid 0 over different form factors right?
Also to confirm the mSata will retain the Sata 3 so my raid will still be Sata 3 yes 6.0GB/s -
Everything is SATA III. The mSATA has its own slot, it won't go in the optical drive bay. The optical drive caddy is for a regular 2.5" SSD.

Call AW they will send you the official AW HD caddy, cables and screws to replace the optical drive. If you have trouble let us know I have all the part numbers from dell and can get them tonight when I get home.
