Is it still not possible .. to run Dual SSD in raid 0 in the 15" macbook pros that are selling right now at the apple store?

I remember a few months ago ppl were having problems with this

but the older macbook pros are ok for raid0 with ssd

works fine.

did with 2 ocz vertex's and 2 intels. both sets were fine.

only trouble i ever has was choosing the drives :p

Is the Intel as good as everyone says, compared to the Vertex?
How about one Intel vs 2 intel in raid0? Is it worth the cost?
 
I want to put 2 INtel SSDs in my macbook pro in raid0.. two fo the new G2 160gb drives...


but...

i read a few weeks ago on the forum that people with the brand new macbook pro 15";s are having problems with running dual SSD in raid0. somethign about the buggy firmware

anyone can chime in?
thanks

I just got a Vertex simply because I couldn't wait for the Intel (Leaving the country) but I'm pretty happy with it.
It's awesome to have 10 programs in 4 windows auto open when you turn the thing on.
And file Vault encryption is on which sounds cool lol, even though it slows up boot and shutdown.

I'd honestly go for the Intel, Read speed is what I really needed, booting, running, ect. And not just read speed but the little reads and stuff.

I thought about the Vertex's 200 Write vs intel's 80 write, and how often do you do big consecutive writes to a small 60gb drive?
The 30 seconds or so difference in a 5gb movie don't make it worth the faster speed. Plus the Intel is better at the small random writes, and in theory should preform faster. Plus it's Intel, and will have a sickening awesome resale value. I'd imagine my OCZ will be next to worthless in the coming months (I didn't get the Turbo either, just the plain old Vertex EX.)
 
So intel it is, the new G2 160gb drives

but... Did we find out if the new MacBook pros selling now... Can work with dual SSD raid 0 inside?

I read last month people were having issues and
not able to do it... But the old 15" laptops with removable battery yes

p

anyone know if it works in the brand new 15"ers?

anyone know if raid0 works in the new macbook pro.. with 2 dual SSD inside
 
Thanks. Yeah I saw that other post about dual raid in a 17" (new model)

but I'm trying to find out if it works in a 15" new model
?? Any idea
