The thing is you dont need SSD performance in gaming. The return on investment is poor. YOu're better off getting 2TB drives and RAIDing them and use the smaller SSD for Win and apps.

Raiding eh? Is that like SLI with video cards? Or am I even more confused than usual

RAID is using 2 or more hard drives in a special setup that can increase speed (RAID 0) or data security (RAID 1) or both (RAID 5)

2x $100 drive = $200
128GB SSD + $100 drive = $270

what ssd are you looking at for 170 for a 128gb? the first is ok, the second is a very popular and reliable one
