RAID0 with OCZ Vertex SSDs?

[GoogalyMoogaly]

Hi all,

Back when OcUK were doing the pre-order deal on OCZ Vertex drives I picked up a couple of 120GB OCZ Vertex drives (not Vertex 2/2E/3), one for each of my Win7 PCs.
Since I don't look forward to re-installing every bit of software and configuring it on 2 PCs I've managed to put off installing them. Now I'm looking to upgrade the motherboard in one of the PCs to an AM3+ board that supports SATA III. So now I'm getting greedy and thinking that I should get a 128GB Crucial M4 SSD (the firmware upgrade sold me) for that PC.
This would leave me with 2 x 120GB Vertex drives. I'm wondering if I should risk RAID0-ing the 2 OCZ drives I already own? The more I read about the Crucial M4s the more I see people commenting on the unreliability of OCZ drives and putting 2 in RAID0 would double that risk!
But it would give a performance boost wouldn't it? Plus it'd give me ~240GB of SSD space.
Would I be better off RAID1-ing the drives?
Or just selling 1?
Or forgetting the M4 and just go with my original plan and run a SATA II SSD on what will now be a SATA III motherboard (hopefully)?

Thanks!

How long have you had OCZ drives, with zero problems ? And you're listening to the hype saying they're unreliable

I've had them since 30th May 2011.
To be fair I'd be really worried if I'd noticed any problems with them since they're both still in the sealed anti-static bags sitting on a self.
