Okay, so i've currently got a 120gb Vertex 2 SSD and considering an upgrade. Go for the RAID of Vertex2's or get a single Vertex3. So buying a single 120gb Vertex2 or the more spendy 240gb Vertex3. Basically would it be worth my time, losing TRIM support and going with RAID-0 on a pair of Vertex2's? Or would i be better off sending my current 120gb drive to speed up a media center PC and getting the big 240 Vertex3?
I'm just trying to figure out if the cost difference is worth the performance increase? the RAID-0 configuration would obviously help out some but there are drawbacks. Keep in mind that i have an Asus Z8PE-D12 Motherboard which has SATA 3Gb/s but on the flip side, I do have the Full hardware RAID LSI expansion card to make the most of the RAID if i go that way.
What are your thoughts?
