Another option, two of these (650MB+ /sec sustained) in raid 0: http://www.anandtech.com/show/3997/ocz-revodrive-x2-review/3
No external enclosure required, no raid card required (the card is basically 4 ssd's raided together in one package). Just 2 PCIe slots. The cost seems to be not too bad, at least for "how much does it cost to go 600MB/sec". $1200 will get two of them, for a total of 480GB and 1300MB/sec.
Note, these are not data-safe on power failure.
