SSD vs Raid 0

How much space do you need? You are talking about 30gb vs. 1.5TB

What are you going to be using the drives for? For file transfers you might as well just go with the mechanical drives but for games and apps the SSD will be best.

Of course, fitting anything more than maybe one or two apps/games on the SSD will be difficult at only 30gb, and that is assuming you aren't putting your OS on there, if so, I don't honestly see how that would be enough space. I ran on a 36gb SCSI drive until a year ago or so and all I had room for was basically Vista+World of Warcraft.

Just the OS and Office would be on it.
 
OS and installed applications is best put on an SSD if you can afford it. I recommend Intel X25-V 40GB; cheap but fast SSD.
