Just wanted to followup on this. The setup I have I think is optimal. I have a single SSD that I have only Windows 7 and a couple small programs (Firefox, Thunderbird) installed to, then I have in RAID 1 mirrored configuration two 1.5 terabyte drives where all my programs and data is stored. This way there is redundancy so if one fails you still have the other, and also they are definitely more than fast enough thanks to the background OS being so fast. You may want to consider this setup instead.
