I am fascinated by the posibilitys here.

If anyone has any kind of SSD RAID setup or has an opinion please let me know what you think!

I remember seeing a RAID 0 with the gigabyte i-ram a while back on OCF. Think he had like four of them...

There are people out there doing it but it is not as popular for a couple reasons. One is the performance boost isn't like it is with traditional drives. Second is the cost. Consider Intel's drive is $400, hard enough to swallow for one, no less two drives.

The reason I think it may be plausible is the fact that there are 30gb drives out there for <$100. In addition to the prices droping are the avalibility of PCIe ssd drives witch also may have some inherent overclockabilitys
