Parts:

2x 250GB 840 Evo's 

1 Terabyte WD Blue

3 Terabyte WD Blue

 

I'm planning to use the SSD's in raid 0 as my active storage with the 1 terrabyte WD as my overflow for photo's and bulky movies... Shit like that. Then I want to back up my setup onto the 3 terabyte hourly. How would i do this? is this effective? and also is there a better solution?

Honestly, just buy a single 500GB SSD. Ask LinusTech, and he will tell you the issues with RAID 0 SSDs.

it's faster having them in raid, since it's only 2 drives he won't have that many issues as compared to a monsterous 8 drives.

only thing is you are going to run into issues with raid, OP I recommend backing up your data often

Why not use one ssd for storage and the other for caching?

 

As for being on topic, I have no clue how to do this :D

So nobody actually knows how to do this, or if it is even possible..

I dont think it is possible. And if it was, it would slow your hdd's very much

Ehh.... Software raid your ssds through Windows, and I think that you can also set Windows to have a backup set for certain folders to another drive but I'm not entirely sure. (Why you want it hourly is beyond me, I doubt you do so much work that it really would benefit you).

Install your programs on your SSDs, and your movies onto your 1TB. Then do image backups of your boot drive and file backups of your 1TB.

 

And don't go with RAID 0 SSDs, it really won't give you much of a performance increase.
