Raid 0 SSD - worth it?

Is it really worth raiding two SSD's. Will you get better performance like with standard HD's?

Are SSD's not fast enough on there own without putting them into a RAID configuration?

Yes you will get better performance however you'll want to be wary of saturating the controller/bus. For example I'd imagine on SATA-II that the benefits are not worth it.

I think it was worth it.

2 x 80gb intel X25-M on an X58 board.

OMG you've sacrificed TRIM !!!?

Yep, I aint ruled by the TRIM!

It hasn't been much of a problem so far, writes drop a bit over time but is still much better than a single drive.
