I'm starting to spec out a new machine and an SSD for the cache is definitely in order. It'll be 6G SATA-connected at minimum, but I'm actually considering perhaps RAID-0 stripe of two 6G SSD's to improve performance and reduce latency all-the-more. Anyone have any thoughts on how much of a difference that would make in AE? Worth doing? Assume fully modern mobo/chipset machine.

One thing that would make it even better is the ability to clear the cache based on a particular project. I'm always juggling several projects at once and when I finish one I would like to clear the cache of that project.
