I put that down to mis-matched disks, or maybe a naff nVidia RAID controller. In the absence of any way to diagnose how good the RAID controller is, I've just spent €500 on a pair of 300GB WD Velociraptor drives.
Onboard RAID controllers (ICH9R / ICH10R) are much better now than the earlier versions of the past. However, one of the best inexpensive controllers is the Areca ARC-1200.. around $180US. Since I'm already using my ICH9R, I'll get the ARC-1200 if I decide to RAID0 the SSDs. Still waiting on the delivery of the OCZ Core 64GB SSD.. supposed to be Thursday, so expect results sometime this weekend.
