What laptops support RAID-1 mirroring?

By John Parsons

What currently available laptops support RAID-1 mirroring or other RAID configuration?

Laptops with more than 1 internal hard-drive bay:

  • HP8530
  • ...

(This is very similar to a previous question"how to tell if a laptop can have two harddisks". Should we merge them?)

Lenovo W700 and W710 as far as I know. Also a Dell workstation (just read about it in the news, its a new machine, 17" , orange color, supports raid and comes with i7.)

(Maybe you can set up software raid on any thinkpad if you add a sata drive into the Ultrabay. Never tried this method.)

Any laptop with 2 harddrives will support a software-raid1. I don't recommend Raid-1 as a backup solution for laptops, because both harddrives could break if you dropped it or it got stepped on. I would recommend an online backup tool like carbonite.com to backup your important data.

My Dell Inspiron 1721 has two internal drive bays.
