Exclamation 1 x SSD (Corsair P128 ?) or 2 x SAS in Raid 0 ?

I was having a hard time deciding whether I should get :
1 x SSD (Corsair P128 ?) or
2 x SAS in Raid 0 ?

Please give me your advice and/or ideas...

Thanks in advance Very Much!...

Maybe two 64gb corsair drives in raid 0? Would be faster than a P128:

But imo two hard drives would be better, more storage capacity.... And SAS drives right now arent really worth it imo... we arent maxing out the speeds of sata II, id go for two velociraptors:

Dont skimp on a power supply,if it fails, it usually takes out other components alongside it.

Nice Ideas and products....but look at this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822116058
Same price as the velociraptors (150gb version)..and it has only 3gb less space, PLUS 5,000 MORE RPM....am I missing something ?..

also for two SSDs in raid 0 would I need a special raid controller ?...

No idea how good those Fujitsu drives are, ssd's would need the same exact raid controller as a standard sata drive, as they use sataII just like a hard disc drive.

my 7200rpm drives seem to have nearly the same performance... idk but those fujitsu drives seem very slow.
