I don't download much, all I really want the ssd for is reading.

You could possibly mirror them in Windows Disk Management, but that's not a good setup. Still recommending just setting up backups.

Just run a backup software occasionally. If you actually did manage to put them in a drive mirroring configuration you would lose the benefits of an SSD, at least for writes, since all writes would need to be made to both.
