Vertex LE vs Crucial C300

For files compressable to 2:1, the 2R0 100GB LEs will give you roughly 500-540MB/s both read and write, 2R0 C300 will give you 500-550MB/s read and 280MB/s write. IOPS will be ca 60K read 60K write for the LEs and 100K read 60K write for the C300s.
As long as you're sticking to the mobo SATA 3Gbps controller, i'd go with 2x LE 100GB, benchmarks indicate they perform equal to or beat the C300 in almost all possible scenarios on 3Gbps controllers, the exception being incompressible data.
Be carefull to check that the mobo can use NCQ in RAID mode, if it's the same as for consumer mobos, you'll need RAIDXpert software to enable it.

If you go for that system, pleese post PCmark Vantage scores for the setup


EDIT: @JCool: makes sense. SF-1200 aren't targeted at enterprise, and should get by with either RAISE disabled if the NAND grade is high (doable in FW for manufacturers using higher grade NAND), or RAISE can still be enabled by using some of the dynamic spare area gained from compression (and TRIM). Very few people will fill an SSD completely with data compressible to less than 80-90% of original size.
