If you have the money I don't see why not.  The only reason you'd need a ton of storage is if you plan to download your whole steam library or do content creation.  64GB for an OS drive may be a little finicky however because some programs don't like to let you change where they're installed at and if you're running say Windows 7 you may be pretty close.

 

RAID is taking two drives and making them appear in the OS as one.  For example RAID0 is taking two same capacity drives and striping your data across them, to improve speeds.  RAID1 is taking two drives and saving everything to both drives.  RAID1 is useful so if a drive fails you always have a backup.

Raid 0 is a method of speeding up storage by "striping" the data across two drives, allowing faster access. For that, you need 2 identical SSD's, and keep in mind that the failure rate is very high compared to a single drive

I save about 20 bucks for 1 64gb and 1 240gb. 500GB cost about 100€. where 64 and 240 cost 80.

why not just get a single 250GB or 500GB SSD? Saves the hassle...
