Two smaller (much faster) SSD's in raid, or one large SSD?

[breadswonders]

I know this question has been asked before, and most people recommended the larger SSD. The reason I'm asking again, is because the two smaller SSD's have a significantly faster read/write speads and 4k random read/write speeds, than the single large drive. This is the small drive http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226371 and these are the two large drives http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226372 and http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226357

Based on the specs above, do you guys think that the smaller drives will maintain their speeds in a raid setup? Or are the speeds on the large drives representative of what happens when you put the smaller drives in raid?

hey,

So if I'm only using the large SSD to stream samples for digital recording(read only) would it make a difference if I use 1 large or a few smaller SSD drives?
A lot of people in the digital recording world are saying several smalls ones.

thnx

Well... I always use multiple drives, be they SSD or HDD. 1 for OS and easily replaceable applications, other drives for data. If I have to blow away the OS for any reason, none of my actual data is lost.
But not in a RAID setup.
