Why are you RAID0-ing SSDs?

I'm just curious.

I did it in my system for epeen, but also because it was the cheapest option at the time to get 512GB of storage for my primary drive.

I Raid two 160GB G2 drive for the same reason extra capacity.

The added performance is just a bonus.

Yeah, I wondered about that. However, these days, 512 GB is in the same ballpark as 2 x 256.
