As above anyone running a raid 0 ssd setup?

Do you notice any benefit at all ?

I've got a Sammy 128gig that is a bit
On the full side so I'm thinking of adding a second

I have 2x 120GB in Raid0. And to be honest, in day to day use you won't feel any benefit. Still, not a reason not to

buy a 250gb and sell you old one?

There's little benefit to RAID0 SSDs for OS use, but there are benefits if you're using them in high IO workspace. Just get a bigger SSD and sell this one (or keep it for game/big software installations).

Im running 2 OCZ 240GB SSDs in RAID0 for my gaming drive (and a Samsung 256GB SSD for the O/S drive). No real speed increase although I prefer having one large drive striped across both SSDs than having two separate drives.

This really.... If you want to run high risk ... high IO come to my party ... I can feel the gains in RAID0 but if all you do is simple web browsing / gaming then you're not going to notice the difference

Single HDD or Raid same thing, you should always have a back up.
