[citation][nom]Kamab[/nom]Putting them in RAID0 doubles your chance of data failure, aka either drive fails and you probably lose everything.[/citation]
Yes, but the actual MTBF of SSDs is so high that I personally consider it to be a moot point. Not that it isn't valid for someone running their business, but my use means failure is more a matter of convenience than lost income.
Seems to me the answer is, as always, application dependent. Most of us gamer-types aren't going to benefit from a RAID 0 configuration, but if you build using one, the down sides are very low, and the potential upside, if you happen to expand beyond gaming and use an app that takes advantage of it, is very high. That being said, price is a big factor for me, and there just isn't any reason to pay $300 instead of $240, to use the example in the article, when I'm not likely to ever actually run apps that take advantage of the higher limit using 2 SATA connections allows for.
