I have decided on this, i wont need to go RAID and the two Seagate 750GB HDDs installed at present in my main rig will be used as external storage drives, its not cheap but its what i want

Exactly my point. An SSD is as valuable with programs as it is for the OS files, half of the advantages to having an SSD are given up to crunch the OS into one and keep the program files on a regular hard drive. Especially if the SSD lacks room to handle temporary files from disk intensive programs, which means regular programs will only load and run as fast as the hard drive allows. I do agree that basic data storage should be left up to a secondary system hard drive.
