Anyone have any experience of the above combination? Got 3 spare connectors on the card so considering adding 3 128GB's (undecided on raid level yet, I guess even hardware raid 5 would be a bottleneck to write speeds?).

I've seen SSD's push 1000MB/sec through a Perc 6i but I think that was in Raid-0 (which is an option I guess). It's got a 4x PCI-e so bandwidth is ok. With 3 in raid-0 i'd probably be sitting on around 600MB/s read?
 
you should get around 350MB/s RAID5 writes through a PERC5i. Read throughput probably maxes out around the 600MB/s mark, so three SSD's should be a decent fit.
