RAID-0 on desktops is risky business. Especially with 2 large spinning drives. All it takes is one small glitch on either of the 2 drives, and you loose everything on both. At the very least, it needs a constant backup.
Try this, no RAIDs
C: SSD boot - Windows OS and all programs. Everything will be fast.
D: 4tb #1 Data, Large Games, or whatever
E: 4tb #2 Whole system image backups. In external USB-3 is best so you can grab it quick or take off-site.
If you truly have a need for large amounts of local storage, I suggest you look into a Synology NAS, RAID or Enterprise-class drives, and a nice APC or CyberPower battery unit for it.
