So what would be the ideal arrangement for CS6 then if there were 2 7200rpm drives and one 120GB SSD?

SSD System disc/Cache
2x 7200 HDD Raid 0 for Media?

or

7200 HDD for System
SSD all by itself for cache
7200 HDD for media?

Or would it be worth it to buy a fourth drive (either SSD or 7200rpm drive) The former for System and the latter for striping with the other 7200rpm drive for media?

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.
