Sorry for the noob question, but it is a must to have 2 hdd/ssd one for keeping the project files and one to write the output to have faster rendering times?

or should i use the same ssd/hdd ?

Yeah, it's advised to keep one drive as your boot and application drive while all your data is stored onto a secondary drive. The primary drive can be either an SSD or a HDD but the SSD will maintain a solid performance in both reading and writing whereas the HDD will drop in performance over time as it is a mechanical drive.

For video editing, having the rendering duties off the SSD will net the best results while you save your content onto a large platter drive. Having a RAID0 array with SSD's can be far more productive though it all boils down to what sort of a production setup you currently are planning out or intending to implement/upgrade to since this is all an investment per say and you can't have too much invested...
