I need help setting up a 1TB HDD and a 1TB SSHD in RAID(if possible) i want t o set them up as indiviudual drives and use the SSHD as main drive and the HDD as storage, i read about RAID and all its configurations and i thought that JBOD suit my needs better, but i seriously cant for the life of me figure out how to properly set it up, if anyone could give me a set up guide or atleast tell me what NOT to do while setting it up it would be appreciated very much :)
 
For what you want to do, you don't need RAID. The point of RAID is to use multiple physical drives in one single volume. You've stated that you want two volumes (one for your system "main" drive and one for storage). You don't want RAID for that.
When you install windows, put the install on the SSHD. Once everything is installed you'll see your second HDD as a second drive and you can then use that for storage.

then i obviously didnt do enough research, can you guide me in teh right direction of how i might start to do this, because i connected my new SSHD the other day and its being recognized and works properly, but it doesnt appear on my computer as F: or D: or any way of accessing the hard drive other than device manager to view its properties
