That's exactly what we do.
After all, "RAID" is still the acronym for "Redundant Array of
_Inexpensive_ Disks", no matter how many times big-$$$ will try to tell
you otherwise.
And a software RAID built from some cheap consumer SSDs easily
outperforms those overpriced "enterprise class" SSD devices they try to
sell you.
Most hardware RAID controllers that I know
of don't pass on the TRIM command
Not only that, they also suck regarding adding lots of latency to the
SSD communication.
There simply is no reason anymore to use hardware RAID at all.
