I have a few extra SSD drives (I know its rare but this has actually happened). I figured since I have almost 500 GB in SSD's I might as well replace all of my standard HDD's with them. I currently have a RAID 5 setup and enjoy the the speed and redundancy with 10k RPM drives. Should I bother to put my SSD's in RAID 5? I have not heard of anyone doing this and have no idea how it is going to work out. The loss of space doesn't really bother me since I have a 2 TB NAS with all my media on it. Does anyone have experience with putting solid state drives in a RAID 5. If RAID 5 is a bad idea has anyone had experience with a RAID 10? is it possible to stripe the SSD's and provide redundancy with standard HDD's?
I should also note that this is a subjective question (it's asking for an opinion), and these are frowned upon by the FAQ: http://superuser.com/faq -- No upvote for you, sorry.

I hope this gave you the self righteous feeling you were looking for because your post is utterly irrelevant. – Supercereal – 2011-01-12T15:23:00.933

Oh and you should probably read this http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/09/good-subjective-bad-subjective/ I follow that before asking any questions on any stack exchange site. My question fits most of those guidelines.
