SSD Raid-0 setup Hey everyone,
can you help me out please?
I am thinking of buying SSD disks and maybe into a raid-0 config with 2 disks
(thinking of these OCZ 30 GB OCZ OCZSSD2-1VTXT30G). My MB (Asus M4N-72E) should support RAID, but does it work with SSD? Or do I need a special adapter?
Thnx for your replies!

If your board supports RAID then go for it.
edit: it sure does.

Thnx already for the quick response! And how do you enable the RAID? In the BIOS maybe?
Bit of a noob on this one I'm afraid | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Home Premium, legal version CPU AMD AM2+ Phenom X4 9650 Motherboard ASUS M4N72-E (because of the onboard firewire) Memory Corsair 4gb ddr2 1066Mhz Graphics Card Asus ENGTS250/DI/1GD3 Hard Drives RAID-0 build of 2 OCZ Vertex Turbo series 30 gb SSD disks. 240 mb/s flash read, 145 mb/s flash write each.

That's an interesting question. But how fast is really, really fast. I have a single SSD and think it is plenty fast. Such that my 2.5GHz duo core seems to have trouble keeping up with it. Those 30GB OCZs from NewEgg are a good deal - for $89.99. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8 CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to i7 Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse Trackball mice Hard Drives 5x HDD, 7x SSD, 12x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 |

Hey WHS,
at the moment I'm strugling with the firmware update and my mobo drivers. As soon as it works well, you'll read it here. Tough it's not as fast as it can be, it's already screamingly fast.

Grtz! That would be nice to get a live Raid0 report about the 30GB OCZs (I assume those are the ones you got).
