Getting a SSD

Is it worth me getting 2 to raid? i do have enough space on other hard drives but never Raid before so any tips would be helpful.

Id be looking to raid a 32-64gb ssd so not a big one.

I don't think so, plus there's the TRIM issue. It's not worth it unless you're working with MASSIVE files on a regular basis.

So just get a bigger one?

The TRIM issue is unimportant. Setting up a RAID0 is almost the same price per GB and significantly higher performance.
Sure, the extra performance isn't as noticable as going from a mechanical drive to an SSD, but it is there, and it's practically free.
