I was thinking I would pick up some cheap JMicron drives to HW raid0 but it seems like Vertex might be almost as fast with just one drive. I guess I'm back to waiting to see user reviews of the drives before I buy anything.
I wished mate. If one 60Gb vertex was as fast as two Core V2, it would make it 310MB/s at sequential reads (I get 155MB/s on ICH9) which I find hard to believe. My bet is that single 120Gb vertex will manage in 200-230 range, but not 300. Vertex2 might be different story...
