Main SSD for the OS and small programs. Other SSD for heavy computing programs like PhotoShop, MeGUI, and gaming.

USB 3.0. I won't be paging what-so-ever with 32GB of RAM, too.

Could you see performance gains? Yes It's none. Honestly all it is, is a way to complicate things and it seems quite frankly unnecessary and a waste of time and money. You have 32GB of ram Readyboost helps if you have 512mb or 1gb of ram.....

As if one isn't fast enough. You guys are all so swell, helping to drive down the prices of WD blacks. It's like 75USD for 1TB here and 4TB at 250USD or so.

splitting the SSD to two does have it's merits, higher total I/O throughput since they can operate simultaneously, better write leveling, and better $/capacity pricepoints(256GB still has the sweet spot).

You can think of it anyway you like. This was the initial plan from the beginning. It helps and I'll have a lot of storage to play around with.
My set up is like the one I mentioned above. It's much, much better than cramming up everything on a single driver.

The more the better! But at this point, only 2 SSDs and I want to get a second 4TB WD Black.

I don't want to split the SSDs.
