I the hardware isnt true RAID, are there any roadblocks in partitioning, installing other OSes etc? Can everything be done in the same manner as with a system with only one harddrive?

Yeah I was thinking how it could be true RAID without a RAID controller. Anyway, I ordered the computer. (FINALLY like 10 years of waiting and finally got an Alienware). I'll get an SSD when prices dip. Thanks for your help! I started...

Also how much do 2 HDDs affect battery life? I know the M17x probably wont last more than 1.5 hours but still what would the effects be?

If I wanted to buy an SSD in a year or so when prices lower, is it easy to remove one of the 500GB HDDs and keep the other (with a clean install) while adding the SSD not as part of the RAID0 array?

Yeah lol I did wait. I needed it delivered exactly on the 14th so I couldn't order earlier anyway. Thanks a lot! I've saved like $600+ on this purchase!

Okay so I emailed them saying the G73 and the asus gaming computer are much cheaper for similar specs and he asks to call but I'm traveling and can't take a phone call. Also, thanks so much for the coupon! If I can't talk to him...

What exactly do I tell them though? "the G73 is comparable and cheaper. Can you reduce the price of the computer?'

Alright so EPP is 10%. My company qualifies. What would qualify me for more? Thank you!

What exactly is EPP and how do I start a convo asking for more?

Do you know the usual time lag? I'm hoping to order one within the next two weeks. In fact the 5% off coupon only lasts till the 30th.
