what is your hesitation with audio?

I don't see why striping shouldnt provide some serious gains in capability on the HD front. The only downside off hand is a reduction in MTBF but I like my odds in that area with ssd stuff much more than normal drives. Perhaps in the not too distant future the new up and coming sata standard will help us take better advantage of our SSD drives as now it seems that the sata bus can be saturated before some of the faster SSD drives run out of steam.
