Best performing/value SSD or duo, at 40-100GB?

[F@32]

So this results in worse performance compared to a 2R0 of similarly specced SSD's going via ICH10R?
Night.

You'd be very surprised to learn that ICH10R outperforms most HW RAID controllers especially with SSD R0 set-ups. In my opion it ranks very close to

1. Arc 1880, 1231ml, 1680
2. LSI 9260, 9211
3. ICH10R
4. SB850

With current crop of SSD PCIe you're paying penalty in terms of higher latency in SATA2-PCIX-PCI chain, plus manufacturing/marketing cost. Getting two C300 or SF1200 based drives is more sound idea at the moment.
