We actually got curious about the OCZ vertex 2, but after a few bad experiences with OCZ in the past got ourselves 4 x Photofast SVF1 100GB SSDs which also feature Sandforce SF1200 controllers from this european company:

The drive worked in RAID 0 on a Promise EX8650 Raid card for 1 week without any signs of problems and they still work perfectly.
I assume that Vertex 2 will get close to these performance figures as well.
4 x Photofast SVF1 drive got:
836 MB/s seq read (ATTO benchmark)
836 MB/s seq write (ATTO benchmark)
87 MB/s random 4k block read
107 MB/s random 4k block write
Quite impressive, now try to beat that with 4 x HDDs
