I recently built a computer and I put 2x Intel X25-M G2 80GB in RAID0 in it. The speed is fine, although I have noticed that people with single C300s are beating me on load-ins on LoL. My primary problem is I've run out of space (which I knew would happen), and I really feel like I need more storage.
My budget is $1500 for SSDs. I'm trying to decide if I should add 4 more 80GB G2s, rebuild my RAID0 array and reinstall for ~480GB of total storage, or if I would be better off moving to the new Sandforce SF-1200 based OCZs, and get 2 of the OCZ Vertex 2 200GBs and put them in RAID0 and scrap my current G2s.
Any thoughts on the upgrade? I am specifically trying to figure out if the performance boost from striping across more drives will boost my performance with the G2s to match/exceed what the 2xVertex 2s will do, and if I should worry about reliability with a 6 drive RAID0 array. Granted, I don't really have any important data there (I use Steam, so reinstalling is easy).
