128Gb SSD vs. Velociraptors in RAID 0
I'm looking to upgrade my HDDs and I'm not sure which route I should go.
Config #1- 128Gb SSD for primary and a 500Gb SATA 2 storage drive

Config #2- 2 150Gb Velociraptors in RAID 0

Price wise it's pretty close. And I know some of you don't like raids or think they are a waste of time but I've been using them for a while now on multiple rigs and have never had a problem.

Right now I have 2 36Gb Raptors and a 100Gb storage drive and I've been happy but I know the raptors are old and I don't want to keep them in my main machine much longer as well as I fill the raptors up pretty fast with games and apps.

Solid State Drives are sexy as hell. I have no idea about which companies are making quality products in that market though... But I heard a while back Linus Thorvald giving a lot of praise for the Intel SSDs.
If the drive is getting some good reviews, I'd go SSD for sure.
