Plextor M3 (Marvell controller, like the m4) 256GB model is $290 AR ($20 rebate).
If you wanted a larger drive, then that price is comparable, on a price/GB basis.
Plus, the Plextor has a FIVE-year warranty.
I'd rather buy 2 of these and RAID 0 them for the same amount of space (roughly), but significantly more performance. That's just me though.
I had a pretty bad experience with RAID-0 and SSDs. My OCZ Agility 30GB SSDs, planned to run two in RAID-0, but after only a week without TRIM, the whole RAID array benchmarked slower than a single drive.
