My understanding is (and I am green here) is that the SSD drive is 2 x 60GB and stripped to 120GB. I don't know what this means (but yes, one drive is a mirror of the other, and I only had access to 60GB when I installed last week). > > I would recommend disabling the hardware RAID if possible and use the > Linux software RAID instead.

I was not aware of this. I will do so. Btw, when I disable hardware RAID, does that mean that I need to reinstall the OS?
