in a RAID-0 as the boot partition for Win7.
(downloaded the 32 & 64 bit RC's from MSDN w/ free TechNet subscription today. Thanks Mr. Gates!)
That should boot in, oh maybe 10 seconds from a cold OFF start.
• Is this a reasonable approach? -- Will this work?

Be aware many of those on 2cpu are using top of the line RAID cards, so depending on what the Gigabyte board has, you may not see as impressive of results. |

| It means you could see some decent transfer rates with even a cheapie RAID controller. But if you're hoping for rates near the high end of what is shown in that thread above, you'll need to pay attention to what controllers are capable.
I easily get 200MB+ reads with my Arcea card and a SATA RAID5 array. |

I have a 9010b, every couple of weeks I look to see if anything new has been said about it. Whenever people talk raiding 9010s or 9010bs they also mention Arcea controller cards. Cheaper alts mentioned is 3com.
HTH.

Actually I am just hoping to decode the meaning of the graphic in the howie post
and
learn what just two SSD's in Raid-0 may achieve on
the GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard, which is how I plan to use them.

Sorry, I never used the ICH10R, so I can't help with that. But do keep in mind, what you want to know is how they might perform connected to that controller, the specific MB is much less relevant. |

That IS the exact question, well said (written).
So, how to gage this in advance, to whatever extent possible, please?

Raid with SSD is indeed awesome.  How about 24 SSD's in Raid? »www.youtube.com/watch?v=96dWOEa4Djs Indeed possible, and 2Gigabytes per second transfer rates. |

.. expect from just TWO SSD's in Raid-0 on a Gigabyte mobo for intel 775, please?
How about the 1366?
