[AccessD] SSD on raid

Here is the counterpart to the test results I posted before, this shows RAID 0 using the Intel raid 
controller on the motherboard.  It would be interesting to see what a hardware raid controller would 
add to the results.

All in all RAID 0 does what you would expect, increases bandwidth / streaming read/write speeds.As 
soon as I get reimbursed for the hardware I have already bought, I will likely go do this with two 
or possibly even three of these drives.  To satisfy my own curiosity I am going to try some real 
world tests using SQL Server, with the indexes on RAID 0 hard disk and the indexes on RAID 0 SSDs. 
I have big enough data sets to clearly define relative speeds.

I will keep you posted.

And... I still need knowledgeable responses to whether using RAID 0 is an OK thing to do for just 
the SQL Server index files used as I have described.
