SSD-raid on dualcore-slow sata-slots 1.5GB/s?

[europanorama]

I cannot use the speedy 3Gb/s-Sata-slots on my dualcore gigabyte Alive Dual eSata2 for SSD Raid(2x120gb) since the second slot is reserved for esata. no other option.
Does my idea make sense for win7-64? investment: around270 chf/ 300usd
If i get a quicker i5 i would have to invest more than that. i5 4/320 280 chf. maybe worth looking at the type/MOBO.

It makes no sense to do an SSD RAID on SATAI. Even a single SSD drive would be more than it could handle.

But in principle, on the right PC, yes? my collegue(raid-expert) succesfully setup several 2x 120gb 2xHDD-raid-pcs.
you are right the slow sata-slots are SATA-I.
so the solution could be SSD on SATA-II plus esata(external on second slot) plus internal HDD on SATA-I. win7-64-8gb ram.
How about the idea of page-file on seperate HDD if HDDs only are used? I could try it out on my winxp-system.

SSDs are fast enough, so I don't really see a need to RAID them. Even SATAIII would be saturated by SSD RAID.

You could put a separate pagefile on another drive, but I'm not sure if you'd gain that much. It's better to max out the RAM. If your system has to hit the pagefile, that means it ran out of real RAM.

RAM
I haave 8 GB installed and monitoring it while doing video work, I have yet to hit 5 GB used yet. So my page file probably has never been used.
