Running 2x SSDs in RAID 0

I'm currently running this 120GB SSD in my rig:

And, naturally, that capacity is nowhere near enough for what I need. I’ve been weighing the merits of setting up a RAID 0 array.

Should I pick up another identical 120GB OCZ drive, or would it be smarter to go with an Intel model? I'd love to hear some thoughts on the pros and cons of RAID. Is it actually worth the hassle, or am I just inviting unnecessary complexity? Specifically, I'm worried about the backup situation—how does one even manage backups effectively once you're running a striped setup like that?

On top of all that, I also have three 1TB SATA III drives sitting there.

I am done with RAID...
Backups aren't the issue if the software includes the necessary drivers...
The real problems lie elsewhere. Without specific RAID drivers, you can't even boot or install Windows...
...you lose access to vital data like HDD temperature and S.M.A.R.T. metrics...
That is my experience with RAID 0. Why do so many developers only do half the job?
I am unsure how it performs with an SSD. It should be twice as fast if your motherboard or expansion card Controller is up to speed. You don't really need to monitor temperature on an SSD; they don't get hot. I doubt S.M.A.R.T. data would even be relevant...

Honestly, I've ditched RAID 0 because the benefits just aren't there for me. Or, more accurately, for what I'm trying to achieve, RAID 0 isn't the optimal path. My main priority is simply finding the fastest SSD possible with the highest capacity for the lowest price.

It might actually be smarter to just sell my old drive and pick up one of these two options, though I'm still torn on which way to go.

They’re pretty much the same. Personally, I’d just go with whichever one offers the longer warranty.
Besides, why do you even need an SSD that massive?
