Not when we're talking about 32GB drives. Line me up with 4 of them! :D

End up with 128GB and it's still crazy fast, regardless of controller.

3870x2SSD only does 120MB/s (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive), the only thing you are gaining is a good seek speed. A single Raptor in sata is faster than an SSD: 1.6Gb/s /8 = .2GB/s, or 200MB/s, almost 2 times faster(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_drive). At this point, you can add in access speeds, and fragmentation that happens in a hard drive, something that the performance of an SSD is barely affected by.
So, small files here and there, an SSD drive would be better, loading a game or operating system, a good defragged hard drive would be faster.
Also, not all hard drives have the capability of going 1.6Gb/s, any run of the mill 7200RPM HDD non raid will go 1.0-1.2 GB/s.
You wish, no single disk sustains 200MB/s. Burst speed isn't that interesting. Low seek times are what you want for your OS drive. Luckily there also are best of both world solutions, namely rocket drives, I-RAM (GC-RAMDISK) and some other brands. The I-RAM's got for ~€120 on ebay, downside is 4GB limit and the price of DDR.
