You can't setup raid cause bios does not support it as you rightly said but you could use Lenovo's own express cache software. Discovered it works with the y500 even though its for another notebook model. Mine's been working fine with super fast boot times.

Lol, the express cache thing can't compared with a dual SSD raid 0 setup

Ya I suppose so. When doing research before I bought my mSata, I found out that the mSata slot runs at 6gb/s and the hard drive maxes out at 3gb/s. That means that mSata ssd will perform better than your sata ssd. For me I installed a 60gb mSata then with the express cache installed I'm enjoying <10sec boot times. I cannot imagine the notebook with both mSata ssd and a sata ssd. Now you got me thinking.......... whistling.gif

The hard disk drive is sata3, means it will max out at 6gb/s too.

Yeah, I'm very curious about this too :3

How I wish Lenovo will release a BIOS frimware update that enable RAID, because intel HM76 supports RAID. I want a hardware RAID and most of Lenovo Y400/Y500 users all over the world wants it badly.

I have contact Lenovo for this matter, but haven't receive their reply yet.

HM76 doesn't support raid 0.
Only HM77 does.

Hi all, I just recently bought my new Y500. Question is should I get a cooling pad for my laptop? I ask the sales person, but he told me Y500 got good air ventilation and a cooler pad will cause dust to go in. So my question is does anyone here use a cooler pad for their y500 and which model of cooler pad you are using?
*
Get a Cooler Master Notepal U3

Seriously?
Arghhh, I wanna learn OC!

I have 2 questions,
- after I installed 360 Antivirus, my boot up time slowed down. Any idea?
Services, start up everything is cleaned. No virus no malware.
- Win8 does not have disk? What if we want to format? what if we want to downgrade win7?
*
Uninstall the crap 360.
It's just a rubbish software.

okay! any idea what antivirus best ?
I have a McAfree 3years Intenet security license. Should I use that?? or use avast free ?

The mcafee is a crap too.
Some users experienced slow/weak wifi connection because of it.

The Win8 built in MSE aka Windows Defender is enough.

Lol, not even a GTX680M can run Crysis 3 smoothly on very high setting, what you expect from a GT750M SLI?
