Budget:
$3k-$4k

Expectations:
As an independent trader, I need a powerful system to handle my quant analysis.

My question...which SSD config is faster and more reliable:

Config_1
   Hard Drive Set 1 SSD with OS only
   Hard Drive Set 2 2 x SSD in RAID0 for Program execution

Config_2
   Hard Drive Set 1 2 x SSD in RAID0 with OS and Program execution

Thanks.

Until Intel updates their software to allow TRIM to run with the X79 chipset boards, I would not use RAID. Your RAID SSD's would slow down once all the memory blocks are written in.   

Regarding fast vs reliable...
remember, all drives can fail.
RAID 0 is for fast... RAID 1 is for reliable.
