So, I was looking to buy a SSD and I've been reading other topics and a lot of people recommend either Samsung 830 or Crucial m4 but they are usually more expensive than I would like to pay ($200 for a 128gb samsung). After browsing newegg for a while I find this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148441
With the promo code it would be $80 for each, I was thinking about buying 2 and using then in RAID0 for OS and some games. For everything else I would just use my seagate barracuda 500gb.
I heard that RAID0 for SSD doesn't really help you much, mostly improving write speeds only, but do you guys think it's a good purchase? Should I instead just get a 120gb SSD?
