2060 vs 2070 and this has dual 512 ssd's.. different system
why do people do this? can i get that $1200 price now?
It's easy to make both SSDs into a single drive letter in Windows, if that is what you want.

Open Disk Management, convert both SSDs to dynamic disks, and extend the C drive volume. Now you have one large C drive.

Rather have one larger SSD than multiple smaller ones, unless doing a RAID. Pretty good price for an 2070 though.

you could raid these, no? been a while since I did raid...

Depends on the Mobo and its chipset. Mute point doing a RAID with SSD's though, your already maxing out all the other hardware so your gains are minimal at best.

yes, of course, last raid on ssd's I ran was 240x2 ocz maxiop maybe 10 years ago

The r2 has a design similar to the area 51M, and from what I'm reading, has RAM soldered onto the board (yuck)

Also looks like the M2 may not have a 2.5" SSD spot, just 2 nvme drives. Might have a bigger battery though, not sure offhand

Been a few years since I looked into it, but spanned volumes do not support TRIM, so you would take a performance hit combining two SSD's in the long run. Would it be greatly visible probably not, but still something to take into account.

This looks like a pretty solid machine. I've been wanting to spend a little less, but I was on the fence about the r1 last week and this is a better machine (though pricier).

Configure it and it will tell you want you can add. If you add a 1tb drive you can only pick the 60 watt battery
