I currently have a 2tb hard drive and a 120gb samsung 840 evo already installed, I have a 250gb 840 evo on the way. I am wondering what I can do with the second ssd. Is there a way to add the second ssd in a RAID 0 configuration or should I just set them up as two separate drives? If separate drives, should I keep windows 8.1 on the 120gb or move it to the 250gb? Thank You!

2 x SSD and 2 x HDD is exactly my current config.

Separate drives.
1 SSD for the OS and applications, 1 SSD for working docs and maybe a game or two.
HDDs for mass storage and backup files.

Leave the OS on the current drive, and use the new 256 for other stuff.

this is how I planned to have my computer build, "1 SSD for the OS and applications, 1 SSD for working docs and maybe a game or two. HDDs for mass storage and backup files." but I am unable to get the computer to recognise the 4TB WD Black HDD. the two 960 pro SSD are operational. What did you do in bios to get the HDD visible, or do I have to change settings somewhere else.
