Is the RAID 0 with two 200GB 7200 RPM
or two 64GB SSD (not much storage) maybe use 200GB in the Bay
or a mix of one 64GB SSD and one 200GB for speed with some storage.
Thanks everyone

Raid 0 with 2 7200RPM drives and Raid 0 with 2 SSDs will comparably fast for large files. For many small files (like bootup) the SSD will be faster. A hybrid RAID 0 (if it will work) is asking for trouble. Using the SSD for system files and a hard drive for data files would probably work pretty well.

RAID 0 with SSD not avaliable with W700, don't know why.

That's probably right. If you select 2 64GB SSDs then pick RAID - it leaves those disks in the pricing - but it seems confused and asks you to select hard drives as well.
