Another option, two of these (650MB+ /sec sustained) in raid 0:

No external enclosure required, no raid card required (the card is basically 4 ssd's raided together in one package).
Just2 PCIe slots. The cost seems to be not too bad, at least for "how much does it cost to go 600MB/sec". $1200 will
gettwo of them, for a total of 480GB and 1300MB/sec.
Note, these are not data-safe on power failure.
