2TB Seagate SSHD for all things Windows as well as video for composing etc.
2TB Seagate SSHD for Sonar Projects and Audio Folder
1TB Drive for Mastering & Samples
 
All of these get backed up via a program my brother-in-law wrote - it compares files dates and only replaces the older ones (funny how Windows can STIOLL not do just that!). It has recallable sets of paths and can back up to any amount of drives all at once (one set at a time) at the click of one "backup" button.
 
My backup drives are:
4TB Seagate External (for all Sonar stuff)
1TB for Mastering/Samples (via Ethernet)

Once a month, I use a 2TB Seagate for Cloning C-Drive (I use Macronis Reflect Free).
 
I recently also invested in Wondershare Data recovery software which works really well in case of disaster.

I think what you are going to need varies depending on what you are doing.
 
If you are going to be loading lots of Kontakt instruments, SSD is probably the way to go.  Many of them, and probably mirrored for safety (or at least copy them to partitions on a mechanical drive for backup).
 
I don't have this set up at the moment because I have been waiting for SSD capacity to go up and prices to come down.  Seriously thinking about tossing a couple 1TBs in there, though, for my most commonly used or demanding libraries.  It takes way too long to load 24+ tracks of demanding Kontakt instruments from mechanical storage.  Unfortunately I need 2TB just for my most commonly used libraries.
 
If I could do it all over, I would probably go SSD the whole way, or maybe have one very large mechanical drive to backup the SSDs.  I'd also have 64GB of RAM or more.

Has anyone tried to use Raid-0 to improve performance?

Might get better responses by starting a new thread. Use the sentence you posted as the title of the thread.

Thanks, I'll do that.

Have you folks heard of SSHD Drives? They are not as fast as SSD but faster than a conventional HD and the drive cost is roughly less than $200.00 for a 4TB drive. 
 
I purchased one for Windows 10 for when it is fully released later this July and the new computer I will be building for it.

Again, it depends on what you are doing.  If you are loading a large template with lots of large Kontakt samples, then it's not a good solution, IMO, and that's what I am currently using.  Reason:  cache is too small and really doesn't help with loading large sample files.
