Don't do RAID. Just install Windows on your SSD and store your files on the hard drive.

Hi there @Justin Meyer!

 

Since it's a SSD and a HDD, I wouldn't recommend to set them in RAID because you'll be limited to the speed of the slowest drive in the array. Instead you can use the SSD for your primary drive (OS and demanding apps) and the HDD as a secondary storage (music, movies, non-demanding programs etc.).

 

Cheers! :)
