I'm going the other way double the storage "Western Digital Red 8TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive" and take the "Sandisk Z400s 64GB 2.5" Solid State Drive"  and put where the optical drive would go use double sided tape if you need to!

As you have two mobo SATA 6Gb/s connectors and two SATA 3Gb/s connectors, it seems a shame to let them "go to waste", pity there seems to be no way to raid the drives for redundancy with that board?

 

Not cheaper though sorry
