The HDD and SSD are organised as Raid0 as one logical C: drive of a
nominal 532GB. (Well not quite that simple, there are some other small
protected partitions for Recovery, swap, etc.) This gives a big speed
increase but not quite as much as by dedicating the SSD to the OS.
This is a new concept to me so I only understand the first few
paragraphs of what I find in Wikipedia etc.
