Got plenty of SSD loving going on now and was toying with RAID0 on my rig with a pair of the 60Gb Agility3's I have, question is, how do I do it..
As it stands I have the following.
60Gb Vertex2 OS/Apps
90Gb Vertex2 User Files/Game Installs
60Gb Agility3 Temp folder/swap file
I have the following drives.
60Gb Vertex2
90Gb Vertex2
2x60Gb Agility3
120Gb Agility3
Motherboard is only SATA2 so the speed difference between the Agility's and the Vertex is negligible.
I was thinking pairs the Agility3's up and having them as the boot drive, but then I thought I might get better performance from my games if I use the R0 for the game drives.
Then there's the other train of thought that says its plenty fast enough as it is and maybe I should put the spare SSD's into the laptop's...
Anyone got any input?

Well now let me think.................................................
Dont be a Muppet DO IT, at least as an experiment.
I think you should raid them mofo's together, take an image of the new drive and play about with the stripe size until you found the sweet spot, i should think it will be blistering.

Put your OS/Programs & games on there. Use a normal HD for your Porn downloads & torrents
Ok, well I did it lastnight...
Probably not the best use of space but what I ended up doing was R0'ing the 60 and 90gb V2's together for a 120Gb Boot drive.
And then the 2x60gb A3's for Data.
Leaving me an A3 120Gb for temp/swap useage...
tbh I've not really noticed any difference yet, altho I am still only installing apps remotely while I'm sat at my desk..
See how it goes tonight with some BF3/Diablo3/Steam play...

It's a great idea for the purpose of experimenting and getting the T shirt, but unless something has changed recently, and I missed it, RAID doesn't support the use of TRIM yet.
I'd just question the benefit of the long term, and intense use, of an SSD without the 'protection' TRIM offers.

Just be a nutter... life becomes much more exciting, and people won't expect anything more of you...
