I looked into the Raptor drives and a possible RAID 0 array almost two years ago when this stuff was seemingly taboo at the time, simply because I wanted the fastest responding system I could possibly get. And while I don't think that RAID is a particularily performancing boosting concept, the Raptor drives are fast, and I personally will never ever ever go back to using 7200RPM drives again for a primary partition
Many people argue that they aren't worth the price/capacity they offer, but what most fail to realize is that you don't buy a Raptor to store thousands of MP3s or movies or anything of that nature, you use it for applications and operating systems and things of that nature.
I found my investment to be quite a good one, considering the price for a 36GB Raptor is about the same as when I bought them almost two years ago, which is highly abnormal for computer hardware. If, like me, speed and absolute highest performance are a neccesity to you, I would buy a Raptor and never look back
