SSD Raid Alternatives

Hello there
I'm building a new system and I find myself that I have 3 120Gb SSD, I dont want yo buy any new drives, and I want to avoid having 3 different logical disks (C,D,E .ex)
I'm aware SSD Raid 0 will bring me no real advantages, and I'm aware of the increased risks against using stand alone disks (risk of raid failure)

So, can you think of any alternative to Raid 0 which would allow me to use 3 disks as a single logical drive for OS installation?

Thanks in advance!

Could RAID 5 them... but that is kinda silly. I would just RAID 0 them, and if you are worried about data security buy a 2 TB for cheap and back up your data there.
