Pretty Hot... 4X ZOTAC 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC SSDs - $159.99

LOL limit 5 per customer. Set up 20 in a whitebox SAN for some gnarly IOPS, for as long as they last.
 
Having run 4-6x RAID0 for awhile using Intel PCH/ICH, you're going to run into DMI bandwidth limitations after ~3 SATA3 drives and top out around 1500MB/s on Intel chipsets. You'd have to go to dedicated hardware RAID card to realize full throughput to get your x4 or x8 throughput. Personally, I think you are better off just getting a 512MB NVMe SSD especially with this 480GB 4x120GB. You'll pay more but it will be a lot less complicated and still faster overall.
 
Not a bad option for those wanting to install smaller SSDs into general use home computers or upgrade a handful of office systems.
 
If you actually need the capacity, the eco3 480GB is $99.99 after code @ egg.

If you need to upgrade 4 systems then this should suffice :)

These Zotac drives are MLC, whereas the Eco3 is TLC...may be a concern for some.
