I have almost that same system running my ProTools. I got the little quad-SSD box that fits into the CD drive slot, the Windows is on an SSD, and the audio is on another SSD, and the samples are on a third SSD. If I unplug all the SSD's, then I revert to a standard Win-7 running off a hard drive.
One thing I noticed, that you might want to be aware of at some point, is that if you install two different instances of Windows onto the same system, both instances will attempt to make use of whatever hard drives your system thinks are "permanently attached". Also, when you back up a system that has been
installed with permanently attached drives, the backup will not complete unless you have enough space to accommodate
all the drives.
What this means is, is you have lots of drives, you should
unplug them all before installing windows, and then if you have to install a second instance of Windows onto the same machine (even onto an SSD),
unplug all the other drives before you do it. This way, you can back up your Windows onto a small drive, and you can faithfully "image" the rest of the disks since they won't be reliant on Windows.
Also, IF you don't follow this guideline, when you mount the second instance of Windows as a regular drive on the first instance, you'll notice there's a 100-meg partition at the head of your second drive that the system won't let you access, it's marked "Windows Reserved". If you install your instances separately, this won't happen, the system will let you mount the 100-meg partition just like any other partition, and therefore you can then "image" your Windows drives just like any other drive. (To "image" a drive, most software requires that the entire drive be visible as a single partition, there is smarter software but it won't work if it can't mount the partition).
TMI, probably. Maybe file it away for when TSHTF and we actually have to do something useful with our computers. lol
