What is a good RAID card for two SSDs in RAID 0? I would like it to not be to expensive.

 

I'm pretty sure most modern motherboards will be able to do RAID 0 without a dedicated card.

I don't think its worth even getting a dedicated component for 2 drives in a non redundant setup. I would just use software raid.
