The spinning drives may slow you down. Even RAID'd hard drives won't match the latency performance of solid state. Latency is introduced ->drives to controller -> controller to bus adapter. Basically a single SSD will best HDD RAID 0.

Also note, the 2 drive raid configuration options are: RAID 0 (some speed increase, but no safety) or RAID 1 (which offers no parity, stripping or speed boost). HDD's are still useful as large storage buckets.

You should have enough open pci lanes to use a dedicated raid controller in your system - i usually go for an areca with minimum 8 spinning drives in raid5 to just hold the raw footage at speeds around 800mb/s. Rule of thumb is that the disc array takes 1/3 of the editing computer budget ...
