got 2 ssds running raid just the 60 gig ocz vertex ones, surpost to hit about 1000 mbs a sec im getting about 800 mbs a sec not sure if its limit of raid driver or what,or just if i anit set it up right, but after a bit more room for os, for putting games on would i see much improvment runing 3 or 4 ssds if not could buy say a terabyte drive for launch games of but defeats point of having the ssds, well happy with how fast pc is with 2 ssds just bit short on space for os.
4 ssds? maybe

If you need more space for games and want them to load fast then there is no reason to not buy another 1 or 2.

Maybe sell those and get two larger SSDs?
It's a limit of the RAID controller for your chipset. You wouldn't see any speed improvement by adding another couple of drives to the array.
On the flip side this doesn't actually matter, next to nothing outside of benchmarks will stretch your drives to their limits. I found almost no difference in real use between a single drive and RAID 0.

I have 1.2GB/S read and 1.1 write on my Z68 with 2 Agilty 3 60's in RAID 0. Thats even with the Z68 being held back (it's slowerer on the Zotac Z68 as to the likes of Asus etc)
SSD latest FW

USE FULL SECTOR SIZE (no custom sizes)
Latest IRST
SATA III (6GBPS port)
