Running 4 SSDs.
2 as a system, firewall, utilities, programs main/boot raid0
2 as a WoW raid0 and some storage (only things I won't need when using WoW)
While they don't achieve the same amazing (unbelievable more like) performance of *that* samsung viral video they do drastically improve load times in crowded areas and stability when you run into a bunch of new textures.
Therefore, I'd strongly recommend a SSD for running WoW but you'll need at least double the size WoW is (SSD should be more than 55Gb I think) to avoid the "insufficient disk space" patch day problem.
I'd recommend a second SSD for your system and boot files too for better general performance but check how much your WoW experience improves with a dedicated SSD first before adding any more expensive items. I also don't know if you need at least double the space for Windows to run properly.
Someone with more knowledge than me could also/has probably either link(ed) an internet guide/resource or describe(d) whether further seperation via different drives for system/boot and program/firewall improves pc performance but that's beyond the scope of my post.
