An awful waste of money, just my opinion.

For my self I would go with a small 60-120gig SSD just for OS and keep my data on cheaper and I believe much more reliable hard drives (i.e you can set up a RAID configuration that is very robust and fast enough).

Buying small capacities don't result in optimal performance. Always go for the highest capacity you can afford. Raiding them is cool though.
This new SSD drive is under 50 cents a gigabyte on newegg sale. It is quite good for the price to performance ratio over the years and offers higher data protection over existing drives.

Ssd is well worth it, I've noticed a huge increase in performance, hard drives are the bottleneck.
