Default Best # of drives for a raid 0 array?
Hey guys,
I am thinking about going for a really sick raid 0 array with some 500gb samsung f3's. My question is how many drives gets the best performance for the lowest price? I have heard that 3 drives in raid 0 gets the best price to performance ratio over 2 drives in raid 0 or even 4 drives. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks for your help.

Yeah, I think 3 would be the price/performance ratio sweet spot. Any more and you're nearing entry-level SSD price territory.
