Yup did some further research - if you put them in RAID 0, and then (optionally) partition them, you should see a big boost in performance.

SSD's are starting to saturate the SATA bus. In fact, that's the bottle neck. There is a move to other/better (think more bandwidth) bus protocols.

It's not here yet, but will be by sometime next year.

Right, the performance benefits aren't as big in terms of percentage as HDD, that's why RAID-0 looks like a good option:

(Article is 18 months old however, so situation may have changed a little).
 
I would love to see a benchmark of 4 x 500Mb SDD vs 2 x 1GB SSD's vs 2GB SSD

Yes that would be a very interesting test.

Would like to see the comparison between the old SATA and the new PCIe with the ssd's above!!

In real-life application the majority of time is spent at low data rates unless in a server application. Even SATA 3 speeds are way more than an average user would require for 99% of the life of the device.

With hidef video editing you are often streaming lots of data. I think most DAW users aren't average users, and the more tracks the slower it becomes. I'm also a developer so I run a lot of server applications. Hard Drives are definitely my bottleneck..

Yes Dr.A, the NVM Express bus that is optimized for SSD's. That's what I was trying to remember.
