Hello,
I have a 120 gb VErtex 3 SSD for programs and OS. It is quickly filling up and I need more space. AM I better off with a 256GB SSD, copying the smaller drive to the larger one, or installing another 1209 GB drive and setting up a RAID? I have a core i7-920 with an ASUS P6T Deliuxe. I am getting ready to install a 2x1GB raid for storage of pics and files (data mirror). Can I run 2 raids? Recommendations?

You are better off with a single larger SSD in my opinion. The 256GB Samsung 830 has been as cheap as ~$150 recently. Running SSDs in RAID loses TRIM unless you have a H77 or Z77 motherboard.
