SSD or raid array

[bigjimmyauk]

really need to move on from the depressing 80GB sata drive your thoughts please

which would be the better option for gaming

my mobo can handle setting up raid arrays for me (something i've never done)
or would i be better off with a SSD

If you think raid would be the better option which raid and how many drives would be a start so i can look into it(got the impression from google raid 0 is a big no no please correct me if i'm wrong)

budget would be about £200 for either of the above items

Thanks for the advice exactly what is trim support?

how bad is raid 0 i usually back up all my photos to a dvd once a week or so to keep the main drive free of space anyway, so are the chances of failure higher than a stand alone HDD like the one i have now?

does this support trim ? Intel X25-M Mainstream 80GB
