Hardware RAID support on new Inspiron 1720s?
I ordered parts for the second hard drive assembly for an Inspiron 1720 that I have ordered and the sales person told me that the new Inspiron 1720 would have a RAID capability and that you would be able to see the options during POST.
Can anyone confirm this?

Yes, I asked him that specifically concerning the 1721, and he said that the newest 1720 Inspirons should have it as wellsgthinnant

Hmmm, I was also told by sales chat that I am supposed to get a DVI port on my machine and it was delivered today with just a regular RGB port. Both my problem resolution specialist and the orginal sales person told me that they show the system with DVI....and I am reading posts on this board lamenting no DVI or HDMI on these sytems.Another disapointment coming perhaps?tigersharc1

I have a few questions in regards to RAID and adding an additional hard drive. What exactly is RAID? What do I need to do in order to add an additional hard drive in the second port on my 1721? I know I will need hard drive, the hardware for the hard drive... not sure what else has to happen here. Is it a matter of placing the hard drive into the hardware that secures the hard drive in the computer and that's that... or do I need to configure some things in the computer as well? Sorry for the extensive question. I'm shopping for a hard drive and the gear and I want to make sure I have everything I need.tigersharc1
