[Noah Vega]

really no downsides other than cost. Its about 10x the speed or more.

or you can get both.

SSD for OS,

HDD for storage.

but what about a raid program, wouldn't that increase the speed of the hard dives.

raid will be much slower than a ssd, and id suggest against raid in a desktop or laptop

I guess I'm getting SSD for my Gamming pc and I'm also going to get a external drive for any type of "extra" storage.

the average user will have the SSD as the main OS drive, a couple of frequently used programs, and some games (though games only benefit with loading times, but it can more beneficial for open-world games or games that call massive amounts of texture loading). 

the HDD will be used as mass storage, such as storing games you aren't playing, music, videos, photos, etc.

there's not much to learn lol. it's moving files around. but it is crucial to have the OS installed on your SSD. nearly every task you undertake will be faster at the OS level

SSD all the way.
