Optimizing 2008 Mac Pro with hard drives

[berlinfool]

i just ran the Blackmagic hard drive speed test and was shocked to see what the difference in speed of my internal hard drives is. A new 4TB hard drive ran around 150 MB/sec while my actual system drive (50% usage) only showed up with 50MB/sec. Other internal drives are even slower. My G-Raid is the only satisfactory one but I couldn't measure it today.

So what's the best setup for my internal drives. What's a good but not too pricey solution? (I'm going to get a new Mac eventually) 2 raids?

If you are going to get a new Mac soon then wait, save up and get a Thunderbolt raid for your new Mac.

SSD's keep going down in price, I have one for the OS and another for my current edits - mad fast.
