Best solidstate drive for Raid 0 set up

[Peppered]

Looking for the best solid state drive to use for a Raid setup and what is the better MB for OC on the Z77 chip set.

Best MB I have had in the past for OC has been a OLd DFI and another old EVGA board.

Are you running an Ivy Bridge processor?

Yes I will be

Don't bother running SSD's in RAID0. If you need more capacity buy a single higher capacity drive.

The reason SSD's are fast are due to their very low access times (~0.1ms). Even a single SSD will blow a HDD(-array) away. You will not get any benefits from RAID'ing them, other then faster sequential transfers. This is not worth the tradeoff in reliability in my opinion.

my 2c...

I use to have two 60 gig SSD's in RAID0 in the evga board using the manufactures own way off dong trim, I think they called it trash.
with the very nice overclock and the two SSD'S in RAIDO it was awsome.

That was untill I did somthing stupid that I can't rember that destroyed the aray.

I was just tring to get the same performance on boot up as I use to have.

A single 128GB SSD will offer performance so similar for boot/load times that it doesn't really matter. It has an added bonus of being foolproof, unlike a RAID array.

And there's the problem with RAID0. One mistake or failure and you've toasted it.

I'm sure Peppered is very diligent about backing up any data he can't afford to lose.
