From above and the post mentioning the benchmark with RAID-0 Stripe on Dual SSD's
The REAL benefit with an SSD - is that it dang near scales in proportion to an even doubling of speed per SSD added with only a slight loss per added drive, up to an amount of around 6? I think it was.
As opposed to HDD's which give you a rough 30-50% increase in speeds, and it scales down quite proportionately to where its just a waste of space to be adding more.
Cost of course is the huge issue - you could do 5 HDD's in RAID for the price of a single SSD
