I have a setup similar to yours. However, I use SSDs for stuff I want
readily available (OS, programs, /home, etc.).
On my main computer, I have two 4TB spinning rust drives, with RAID0 on
them. I keep stuff on them where speed isn't as big a deal: backups,
etc. Backups include amanda backups, rsnapshot backups, and others. I
plan to add drives to upgrade the RAID to add checksums, and that will
involve buying a SATA controller.
If money is a concern, something like that might work for you.
