Hi Mike, That Asus seems OK, but the RAID 0 (striping) still won't give you an awful lot of room for editing, but it WILL be fast for normal use! Windows7 and CS6 alone will devour 64GB of this space, not sure about Windows 8 though.
Depending upon which SSD's they use, you could find they bottleneck with the inbuilt compression. Normal applications will be fine, but when moving lots of HD video around, the compression can cause 'issues', although AVCHD files should be OK. If you were to swap out the drives for ones like the Sandisk Extreme 480GB, which is recommended for use in the Hyperdeck Shuttle, this has no compression and even alone, out performs most of that capacity. I have one in the editing rig which is more than enough for storage and another in an Acer laptop, which boots from a cold start to usable in 8 seconds :-) Whatever you get (there are a LOT of good choices out there nowadays), spend a bit extra and make sure the display IS 1990 X 1080, as the manufacturers sometimes dazzle you with other features. However, if you can find a device with the GeForce GTX 680MX, that has the maximum CUDA cores in a mobile unit (1536), and may be a lot better for rendering than RAID 0 SSD's in the long run or a faster processor. Choices choices.... Good luck! Neil.
