Read and replace Sony Vaio VPCZ13M9E internal SSD RAID drives

My VPCZ13M9E has two internal ssd drives stacked together using a plastic separator that holds them in place. Each one of them has its own connection. The two drives connect to the same ribbon cable which has the Y shape, and the resulting ribbon connects to the motherboard. Each drive is a Toshiba 64GB SSD. By default both are configured as RAID 0 on the motherboard.

I would like to know which type of connection are so I can replace them with bigger capacities. Also, would like to be able to read the drives once removed from the computer, for example via USB.
