Sandforce SSD's in RAID0: Does background garbage collection still work?

I am thinking about adding a pair of Sandforce SSD drives in RAID0 on my Mac OSX device. Since OSX does not support trim I am dependent entirely on over-provisioning and idle garbage collection to keep SSD drives in good shape long term.

My question is if you use two drives that support BGC in a software RAID0 configuration does the BGC still work as effectively as with a single drive?
