How is that any different than losing a single SSD? You're still not recovering data from it easily - if at all. The solution is always to have a backup.
A regular 6Gbps 480GB Mushkin SSD can be had for $320... so this shouldn't cost more than $700-750 (street), hopefully. By no means should it be at or over $1/GB...
It's the same problem as RAID 0 with mechs, you double the likelihood of an unrecoverable drive failure. It would be interesting if they could use a RAID mode that was actually redundant, like 5.

Personally, I'm not particularly fond of RAID 0.Does TRIM work with this drive?

RAID 0 should offset the speed hit incurred by using asynchronous NAND, but if one of the drives goes then all data is lost. No thanks.nathanddrews - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - link

It's exciting to be so close to $500 1TB SSDs!
