Kinda doesnt go together... And such write realy sucks.
However you must consider that most SSD drives are not TRIM or garbage collection capable in raid mode with windows 7 inherently, in which is the bane of most SSD performance, that you should consider as well. as over the course of 2 years they might become dreadfully slow.
15,000 write
Maybe someone can try it?
My vertex 2 has the same IOPS as this... only my write IOPS are 3x more :p Not like imana use writing that much though :(
I know intel has TRIM RAID support... idk about the rest
