May be it will help to explain what is the desired usage of the system as
many mentioned SDD and HDD is not good to mix. In the case I would use the
SDD for the operating system and not sensitive data that is written more
often for example a scratch box.
The HDDs you can put in RAID1 and probably now and then backup your
configuration from the SDD, so that you can recover if the SDD fails. It is
not likely but it happens more often than you can think.
