While looking at the Acer S7-392 with the Haswell's i see that they list their SSD's as being in RAID 0. This is interesting to me. Wouldn't RAID 0 increase the likelihood of losing a functional machine by 2x, as you depend on two drives to NOT fail, rather than just one? Also, with SSD's how...

Is there a laptop out there that has two striped hard drives? I know that SSDs are much faster, but there also much more expensive. A striped duo disk would also be faster than a stock laptop, but should be cheaper than the SSD solution. Or is there a DIY laptop solution?
