You don't want to RAID SSD drives due to lack of trim support. You'll end up with two drives that are slower than a single drive.
Back in stock. I just pulled the trigger. Hopefully tomorrow I won't have a "cancelled order" email waiting for me from the 'Egg.
I thought the garbage collection would take care of that? Eh, good enough reason to save my money.

My two current 64GB Crucial M64 drives in RAID0 disagree with you.
...
I imagine if I did a manual free space wipe I could probably get what loss there was in performance back. I simply have not noticed any difference. If you can locate a single drive that can deliver over 800MB/s over a SATA3 interface I'm sure you'd easily find lots of buyers.
The Crucial M4 still uses the Marvell 88SS9174 controller (like the Corsair Performance Pro) so it is much better suited for RAID than SandForce but is still considerably behind the Performance Pro in environments without TRIM (i.e. RAID) as seen here. . ..

It isn't rubbish and it isn't misleading at all... Two SSD drives in RAID that are dirty and do not support trim and have inefficient GC are slower than a single drive with trim. This is a very real issue here.
I'm not here to deter from the thread so we can continue the conversation via PM's if you'd like. Feel free to shoot me one if you need to see more benches.
QFT!!This drive for $1/1gb is just plain smoking - after you realize how much time you sat around waiting for your hard drive, you'll realize...
well... its just going to make you very impatient when working with spindle drives.
