Agreed completely. Would also like to add, that yes it may be a few seconds slower to boot, but its still a hell of a lot faster than HDD.

... no one is arguing otherwise. The point is using RAID with SSD is for the most part a waste of time. Windows doesn't need better transfer rates, it needs better access times and a single SSD offers that already, adding extra drives in RAID doesn't add any speed increase.
Also that didn't make any sense at all. Have you looked at prices lately? Buying 2* 30Gb drives rather than a single 60Gb SSD is more expensive. Did you mean a faster drive? If so thats also false economy as the cheaper drives have the inferior controllers without cache and buying them is false economy.

Indeed, I only shut mine down if there are updates waiting to be finalised, or if I need to unplug the system to open it up or whatever. Sleep uses barely a smidgen more power than a normal shut down anyway, and it resumes in about 4 seconds.
