Just as you have two HDDs in a RAID array for redundancy, you should
not rely on a single SSD.
If you cannot afford two SSDs then I second the suggestion to
replace one of the HDDs with the SSD and set the HDD write-mostly.
Do also check the exact sector counts as it is entirely possible
that a "500GB" SSD is actually slightly smaller than your "500GB" HDDs.
Cheers,
Andy
