So I would really think that if the 520 had extra flash packed on there, someone would have figured it out by now.
Actually, the 520 does have extra flash. For example, the "120GB" 520 has 128GiB of flash on the circuit board.

128GiB - 120GB = 16.241GiB

But that extra 16.241GiB could be used as 8GiB for RAISE plus 8.241GiB for overprovisioning (OP), or it could be used all 16.241GiB for OP.

What I am looking for is definitive word from Intel whether any of the extra flash is used for RAISE, or whether RAISE is disabled (as is the case with a lot of 60GB Sandforce SSDs).
