My desktop (older Intel Quad) has a 120GB OCZ SATAII SSD. No secondary drives on it. I have one of these:

No fancy RAID. Just a bunch of dedicated (mp3, images, tv shows, movies, 360 games, etc) 1 & 2 TB drives for storage. Plug and play. Use as needed. No constant power to the drives too.
Asus?
I have almost an identical setup to you, I just have a Crucial SSD instead.
