It needs to be fairly spacious due to software that only installs to C: drive and it cannot be be 2.5 " HDD because they run too hot, make fan to spin too fast and make too much noise. I could probably get away with another 240-250 GB SSD (I was using about 200GB on system drive on Dell) for cost saving but probably not worth reinstalling everything. Another option is to run hypervisor off SD card or USB with the image stored on RAID array but again cannot be ar$ed
PS.
At this point I guess it's gone from asking for advice more towards giving feedback and while I appreciate any suggestions that follow, it's unlikely that I will make any fundamental changes at this point. My question was if it is sensible to use 2x2TB in RAID 0 and then mirror it to single 4TB disk in RAID1, while I did not get certain answer it made me believe I would be better off with 4x2TB in RAID1+0 which I have done now.
