The other alternative to a drive set up is to buy a hybrid drive. A hybrid drive has a SSD as the cache inside a slower drive. You still need just one drive to install, but you get better performance without having to figure out how to get drives into your system.

Similar, but slightly different . . . Not super prevalent, but it’s available in a few systems – some Apple laptops, the ThinkPad E431, and the Asus Maximux VI motherboard has a slot as well.

This is a really neat idea, and great way to add some fast read/write speeds that SSD drives offers into an already cramped space.
