The best solution for storage in my scenario?
Hey folks!

Sorry mate, I'm lazy. Would you mind summarising that ^ post of yours?
This is the last placed I expected "tl;dr" to be the norm..
If by "this [place]" you mean the storage section, "tl;dr" is indeed
not the norm. We tend to be rather... wordy around here in fact.
Anyway, as to your actual question: Two smaller disks are naturally
a less risky proposition than a single larger drive. If you have the
money, I might even suggest buying one 2 TB HDD, and an additional
HDD to run as a USB backup drive (its size being determined by how
much data you have which you actually think is worthy of being backed
up).
In the end it basically comes down to how much money you can afford
and are willing to spend on your storage setup, and only you can make
that decision.
And concerning SSDs, while I am not too familiar with your specific
model, in general under most somewhat reasonable consumer usage
scenarios this is true:
As far as SSDs go: SDDs are extremely reliable and as long as your not moving large data in and out of it, it will last you forever.
